He would later make a cameo appearance in the 2004 sequel. Danny Glover also turned down the role of Frank Catton in order to be in that film. Cheadle received above the title billing in Ocean’s Twelve (2004) and Ocean’s Thirteen (2007). When he was refused, he refused to be credited at all. Cheadle wanted above the title billing alongside George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt. This is due to a dispute over his billing.
Matt Damon’s part as Linus Caldwell, the pick pocket, was initially meant for Mark Wahlberg who turned down the role in order to star in Planet of the Apes (2001).
