Bewitched: Astonishing Facts Revealed About The Cast and Crew
The Man Who Almost Was Darrin
Richard Sargent, a teenage actor, was close to being cast as Darrin Stephens in the early days of the show’s casting. On the other hand, Sargent accepted another employment while the pilot looked for someone to play Samantha.
Although Crenna was not a strong contender, we will never know how the program would have turned out if someone other than the original Darrin had been cast in the role.
Following Richard Sargent’s first rejection of the role, actor Richard Crenna was offered the part of Darrin. Richard passed since he had just spent three years on “The Real McCoys.”
Dick York was cast as the leading man in the end. After Dick York’s exit from the series, Sargent returned to the role. However, the role change was short-lived.
