Is there anyone you can picture playing Al Bundy aside from Ed O’Neill? Although it is very weird to even consider, apparently, there is some truth to this. Before O’Neill was cast, the producers thought of bringing Michael Richards on board instead. After several trial tapings of the first episode, the show’s producers came to the conclusion that Richards was much too energetic to play the role of Al, and that someone who was a bit more tired and grumpy was who they needed. We are definitely glad they realized this in time. Come to think of it, had Richards been working on Married…With Children, then who would’ve been Kramer?
