Sydny Potier was talking to Opra and relating this to her

"I was married with a young child, and I had one child on the way. I needed the bucks! The role was a janitor, to which I had no objection. This janitor worked for a gambling casino. Someone connected with his company was killed, and it was thought that the janitor had information about the death. The people who perpetrated the crime went to the janitor and said, "It is imperative that you don't speak of whatever you may know." Then the bad people, in order to cement their control over the janitor, killed his daughter. They threw her body on his lawn, and he didn't do anything. Mind you, the script implied that he was devastated"

Go to The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) (http://www.imdb.com) and type in his name and then read his biography and it may tell you some of the roles he turned down.
