- Rosemarie DeWitt, Rachel Getting Married, 2007. In the final auditions, Ehle lost Rachel to DeWitt. But director Jonathan Demme remembered Ehle when helming the pilot of A Gifted Man, TV, 2011-2012.
- Michelle Fairley, Game of Thrones, TV, 2011-2013. Two actors in the pilot were dropped. So was the pilot – totally re-shot. Jennifer and Tamzin Merchnt had been the first Catelyn Stark and Daenerys in HBO’s colossus based on George R R Martin’s fantasy novel series, A Song of Ice and Fire, following the bloodthirsty family battles for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. Shakespeare without the words…
- Holly Hunter, Top of the Lake, TV, 2013. Ehle tested but from the outset, New Zealand director Jane Campion wanted to reunite her 1992 stars from The Piano: Hunter and Anna Paquin. Nearly happened - but Anna was pregnant.
