Unless we’re counting vanity projects like Moonwalker and Captain EO, Michael Jackson only acted in two movies in his entire life. He was Scarecrow in The Wiz in 1978, and he had a quick cameo in 2002’s Men In Black II. Jackson wanted more. Every once in a while, we’ll hear that Jackson tried to play Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace or that he pitched himself as the next James Bond. Now, with the long-gestating Netflix adaptation of the Neil Gaiman comic The Sandman finally out in the world, we’re hearing that Jackson wanted to be in that, too.
