Which two actors were both considered for the role of Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction?

 

[Breogan]

Which two actors were both considered for the role of Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction?

I thought the character was supposed to be a continuation of Madsen's Vic Vega (Mr. Blond) from Reservoir Dogs.

Hence the Vega Bros.

Vic bites the bullet in that movie.

But the Weinstein Co. pushed for another well known actor for the role.

 

[Breogan]

Maybe his twin?
