   Alec Baldwin replaced Harrison Ford for the role of Jack Trainer in Working Girl (1988) and was demoted to the smaller role of Mick Dugan. Because Melanie Griffith was not yet a big enough name to carry a film (she received third billing despite being the lead), Fox demanded that the male lead be played by a box-office star or they would not greenlight the project. "So Mike Nichols had to call Alec and say, 'Look, I'm really sorry. Circumstances have changed. Would you do the other part?' Alec understood and was very gracious about it. He came in and really nailed that character. It was an odd adjustment," producer Douglas Wick recalls.
