Wesley Snipes' first significant role was in 1989's Major League, where he played a baseball player alongside Corbin Bernsen (pictured) and Charlie Sheen. The trio produced comedic gold, and the film became cult classic. "It's one of those movies that when you're sitting around on a rainy day, you're going through the millions of movies available on the different platforms and you get to Major League and think, 'Oh yeah, that's a good movie,' and you stick it on," Bernsen told Forbes in 2019.
However, even though that flick catapulted Snipes to the major leagues in Hollywood, the actor's ego may have outgrown its breakout role. When asked to return for Major League II, Snipes decided against it — even though the majority of his co-stars chose to reprise their roles. Bernsen remembers a conversation with Snipes prior to the making of the sequel. "I said, 'Hey, man, they're gonna make Major League II!' And [Snipes] was like, 'You're gonna do that?' And I thought, 'Wow, how quickly they forget.' He'd become Wesley Snipes," Bernsen told Sports Illustrated. "That rubbed me the wrong way."
