Most Horribly Miscast Movie Roles

Not only was he good in Tombstone, but he's been really good in a lot of dramatic roles. Just watched Miracle the other day, and I don't see how anyone would complain that he didn't nail that part.
 
Kirsten Dunst is FUGLY???

cmon, shes not Giselle, but she sure as heck is hot enough to play that part


Maguire was a good choice for Spidey, hes not perfect, but what other sub 25 (at the time) male actor would you have picked for the role? The only semi-competent one I can think of is Topher Grace and I sure couldnt see him in a real dramatic role, and in 2000, he was just Donna's boyfriend.

And so help me God, Kurt Russell in Tombstone was a bad choice????

Christ, he and Val absolutely stole that movie for themselves. "You tell them I am coming and hell is coming with me, you hear me!!!! Hells coming with me!!!!!!!"
 
Kurt Russell is awesome. He was Jack Burton, Snake Plisken, and R.J. MacReady.

I'd say Keith David was miscast in Barbershop as Lester Wallace. I mean seeing him as a weasel doesn't work for me. I like him better as a badass and the voice of the Navy commercials.
 
you've all missed it.. horribly.

Michael J. Fox... Teen Wolf. a 5'5" Canadian who can barely dribble. Has to jump to get his free throws to the basket. It came on TV a couple of nights ago, and I laughed at how horrible he was.

Also Scarlett Johnanssen in "Match Point" She was awful in it. Looked hotter n' hell, but terrible.. And they guy who played the "professional tennis player" was obviously a horrible tennis player as well. You could tell by how he hit..

I guess I'm a stickler for a non-athletic guy playing the role of an athlete..

BTW, here's all you need to know about what a monumentally idiotic decision RoD as Betty was. 100% true fact: Flintstones vitamins don't have a "Betty" vitamin because the waist was so skinny it kept breaking in half. Put a Rosie O Donnell vitamin in there and the whole canister breaks in half.
 
How about the two Matt's in We are Marshall? The cornerback, or the guy playing him was awful too. I don't think that movie was done well.
 
On the subject of "the Matts", I never saw Amistad, but I presume Matthew McConaughey might have been an odd choice for that role (again, didn't see it, so for those who did, feel free to weigh in). I didn't think he was right at all as Jodie Foster's religious leader/love interest in Contact.

Granted, one problem was a male playing Jodie Foster's love interest.

On the other hand, there's never been a better casting choice than Matt McC as Wooderson.
 
keanu reeves in bram stoker's dracula. wtf? the guy has the accent of a californian in victorian england. he didn't even try to cover it. "i'm sorry to have offended you my lord. whoa."
 
Tim Robbins as Nuke LaLoosh was just horrible. How can you cast a guy who throws like my mom and was around 30 as a fireballing bonus baby?
 
Adam Sandler as anything but a dumbass.
No way i see him as a tough guy jock as in Longest Yard
and i actually sat thru the crap that was 'Chuck and Larr' NO WAY IN HELL I can see him as a playboy.

Also, Anthony Anderson as anything but a dumbass. Seeing him as a cop in the Departed is VERY far fetched.
 
I'll add John Travolta in just about anything but Pulp Fiction. Okay I kind of liked him in Grease, but that's it.
 
Jennifer Connelly in "Little Children". Because there is no way on Earth that any red-blooded American male with normal chromosomes would cheat on her, the way she looked in that flick, even if the affair was with Kate Winslet.
 
I don't know how many of you have seen it but watching Liam Neeson trying to be a Kentucky hillbilly in Next Of Kin was absolutely painful. Never in my life have I heard an actor botch an accent so disastrously. As I remember it, "take a piss" came out something like "tyeek a piece."
