The ones that got away- films Berkoff turned down or missed
Berkoff was first choice for Frank Booth. When he rejected it the role went to Dennis Hopper. Berkoff says "there was nothing in that part except destruction". 1986, directed by David Lynch.
Berkoff wanted to appear in a Kubrick film again, but Kubrick really wanted Berkoff and his company to flesh out (almost literally) the orgy scenes so he felt there was no interesting role for him.
Directed by Etienne Périer in 1971 and starring Michael York as a British spy after the secrets of the new German zeppelin. Berkoff appears in pre-release publicity (below, playing York's cousin Emerich) but the scene seems to have been dropped from the film.
