Peter Weller
Before Peter Weller was cast, Rutger Hauer and Arnold Schwarzenegger were favored to play Robocop.
However, each man's large frame would have made it difficult for either of them to move in the cumbersome Robocop suit, which had been modeled on hockey gear and designed to be large and bulky.
Weller won the role both because Verhoeven felt that he could adequately convey pathos with his lower face, and because Weller was especially lithe and could more easily move inside the suit than a bigger actor.

No one could have played Robocop better than him.
