"Nick Offerman auditioned for the role of Wolverine. The Parks and Recreation star revealed that he read for the role in Bryan Singer&amp;#039;s original 2000 X-Men film.  The actor has since gone on to voice the titular character in the animated Axe Cop comic book adaptations. &amp;quot;You know actually, I auditioned for Wolverine when Bryan Singer made the first X-Men movie,&amp;quot; Offerman told Newsarama. &amp;quot;I went on tape reading for that role. I always felt when I was younger, I could have taken a good crack at Wolverine. &amp;quot;These days, I love the lead character of The Boys - I&amp;#039;m blanking on the name - Butcher! That&amp;#039;s it.&amp;quot;  The role of Wolverine went to Hugh Jackman, who will celebrate his eighth appearance as the character in Singer&amp;#039;s upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. Offerman will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons. Watch an Axe Cop video below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
