An Uncovered Secret: The Unknown Tanner!
A behind-the-scenes photo from the widely loved sitcom Full House has thrown fans for a loop! This rare snapshot showcases the well-known Tanner family – but with an unfamiliar face as the head. It's not the beloved Bob Saget as Danny Tanner, but an entirely different actor!
Bob Saget: An Irreplaceable Danny Tanner?
Bob Saget's portrayal of Danny Tanners is time tested and forever cherished by fans of the sitcom. As the widowed father striving to bring up three daughterson his own, while wrestling with his own loss, Saget added a unique blend of humour and earnestness to the character.
His charming appearances in the sequel, Fuller House, further amplified his popularity, but did you ever stop to think – what if he was not originally chosen?
John Posey: The 'Almost' Danny
The ‘How Rude, Tanneritos Podcast’ let out an image that featured actor John Posey as Danny in Full House's pilot episode. An unfamiliar face for many, he was initially slated for the titular role!
A Reimagined Danny: What Could've Been?
Playing Danny would have given Posey the chance to put his personal take into the character. Perhaps Posey's approach towards coping with the loss of his on-screen wife might have taken a divergent path.
The series could potentially have explored different love story arcs or even experimented with vastly different styles of parenting applied to the Tanner children.
Classic Episodes: The Saget Influence
Despite the intrigue of imagining Posey in the lead role, some arguments are too strong against such a hypothesis. The influence Bob Saget had on Full House is undeniable. The sitcom may not have been as memorable without Saget's performances. His interpretation of Danny Tanner was arguably a central pillar that lifted the sitcom to its legendary status.
Without his leadership, it's doubtful to even consider if the series would be the same.
In a world full of "what ifs", this one surely gives Full House enthusiasts a pause and an interesting new take on a cherished classic, while also appreciating the importance and impact of Bob Saget as Danny Tanner.
