In most (all?) of the cases, these were actors who were actually considered for those roles--SMG only showed up to audition for Cordelia, and Charisma for Buffy, and it was Joss's idea to switch them--so the possible worlds where those were the real credits aren't all that far from our own in logical space.
Have you seen the original pilot Joss used to sell the show, with Riff Regan as Willow? It's very . . . different.
