9. Edward Herrmann
Gilmore Girls actor Edward Herrmann was in the original cut of Miss Congeniality. He was cast in the role of Gracie Hart’s father. The actor can be seen in the film’s first trailer when the two are at a wedding and he turns to Gracie and says, “honey, are you a lesbian?” to which she replies, “I wish.” Sadly, this scene and Herrmann’s entire cameo were cut from the final version of the film.
