Kate Winslet TITANIC Screen Test with Jeremy Sisto
Here's an interesting video that gives us a little taste of what could have been for James Cameron's Titanic. This is the screen test that won Kate Winslet the role in the film. What's interesting about it, is it doesn't include Leonardo DiCaprio. Instead, she's acting alongside another familiar face... Jeremy Sisto from Law and Order, Six Feet Under, and most recently, Suburgatory. There's such a different chemistry here than what we saw between her and DiCaprio. I can see why he wasn't cast in the role, Dicaprio was definitely a better choice, but it's always fun to get a little taste of a completely different take on the character from another actor.
Check it out and let us know what you think of the performances! Do you think the role should have gone to Sisto, or are you happy with the casting of DiCaprio?
