Yes, John Wayne was initially offered the lead role in the film "All the King's Men" (1949), which was based on Robert Penn Warren's novel about a populist politician. However, Wayne declined the role, feeling it was too political and not in line with the type of films he wanted to make. The role ultimately went to Broderick Crawford, who won an Academy Award for his performance.
