Best Answer

Because The Beatles fired Pete Best and hired Ringo Starr

1. Ringo was a better drummer.

2. He was willing to adopt the Beatle look.

3. He shared the Beatles' sense of humor.

4. He was more deferential to the others, whereas Pete Best was not. IMHO

Had they known where their career was headed, they most certainly would have appreciated his "acting abilities". His roles in AHDN and Help were crucial to their film success. MP
