Top 100 casting mistakes

[frank]

 
19.) Jar Jar Binks ins Star wars Episode I - III (Kermit would have been a better pick)

18)  Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World is Not Enough



Hey, she's damned fine to look at, but a nuclear physicist?  Um...no.

agree!

14.) Michael Madsen as Vladimir in Bloodrayne. 
Uwe Boll movies are usually miscast with big names.  Boll decides to have an actor who typically plays wise guy roles to hold down a role as a vampire hunter.  As an honerable mention in that movie, I'd have to say Michelle Rodriguez.

20.  Then has to be Ben Kingly as Kagen.  I've played both Bloodrayne games and scene both movies.  The movies arn't even close to the games.

21.  Arnold Schw..I'm not even going to attempt it...as Mr Freeze in Batman and Robin.

22. Sandra Bernhard in THE APOCALYSPE

23. Halle Berry as CATWOMAN

24. Uma Thurman as Emma Peel in THE AVENGERS

25. Gary Oldman as Dr. Smith in LOST IN SPACE (1998)

NOT getting Sean Connery to play GANDALF in the LOTR trilogy.

TOM CRUISE as Lestat in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE


ALI MacGRAW in anything...

[Derf]

Ben Affleck. People complain about Keanu Reeves being wooden; if so, Affleck is petrified wood. He even did a poor job playing himself in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. How sad is that?

Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.  I know he's a fan boy who got to be in it but he's much too good of an actor for that role. 

[Kester Pelagius]

Don't know what # we're up to but I'd like to add the entire cast of VAMPIRELLA, including the director and production staff, but most especially the costumer.

Both of mine are from Ed Wood.  Both Sarah Jessica Parker as Dolores Fuller and Jeffrey Jones as Criswell.  Jeffrey Jones wasn't that bad, but there were actors out there who could do Criswell better.  SJP was IMO not that great for Dolores.

Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu in the Star Wars prequels.  I know he's a fan boy who got to be in it but he's much too good of an actor for that role. 

And isn't that a dumb name?  MACE WINDU...!??  Sounds like bad gas after a loada chinese food... hoodoo wind like mace?

[Mr. DS]

34.) (i counted)  George Clooney as Batman - It wasn't just the nipples on the batsuit that stunk. Then again, most of the later series was horribly miscast.

CHARLTON HESTON as a Mexican narcotics agent in TOUCH OF EVIL (1958)... 

[Psycho Circus]

36) Arnold Schwarzenegger playing an American in countless films

36) Arnold Schwarzenegger playing an American in countless films 

A favourite of mine, for sure. I love how they don't even acknowledge it. America's top marshal, secret agent, soldier or whatever is walking around with an Austrian accent and nobody considers that worthy of an explanation. Indeed, they play it down by giving his characters names like Douglas Quaid, Howard Langston and Adam Gibson. In that case, Victor Fries wasn't such a miscast, by virtue of at least a probable German heritage. Honestly, I almost applauded in the theatre when John Leguizamo called him a German sausage in Collateral Damage. Most memorable thing about that movie - somebody finally noticed Arnie's ancestors might not have come over on the Mayflower.
