Trivia Answer: A. Will Smith
Will Smith was offered the role of Neo but declined it because he wasn’t convinced by the pitch for the film at the time. He later said he regretted passing on the role after seeing how successful The Matrix became. Keanu Reeves ultimately took the part and made Neo one of the most recognizable characters in sci-fi.
