Worst cases of miscasting you've ever seen???

Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble anybody??? WTF..............Betty is supposed to be a piece of a*s............

Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins...........

Bill Nighy in underworld

Haven't seen it....................

I've heard Hopkins is terrible as Hitchcock..

Kevin Costner as Robin Hood
Sean Connery as anyone he's ever played (except Bond)
Nicolas Cage as anyone he's ever played (except HI McDunnough)
Elijah Wood as a football hooligan

Michael Gambon as Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Richard Harris was perfect, obviously he had to be replaced but they chose terribly in my eyes.

I liked Connery in the untouchables as that downbeaten Irish cop with a scottish accent!!

Keanu Reeves as John Constantine
Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker - Woah Dracula Dude!
John Wayne as Genghis Khan
Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze
Sean Connery as Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez
Matt Damon & Heath Ledger as the Brothers Grimm
Alanis Morisette as God

Keanu reeves got call.......................

Steve Martin as Clouseau

To be fair to Reeves when he's cast within his comfort zone he does it very well (Bill & Ted, Pointbreak, Matrix), when he's cast as a Victorian gentleman coming to terms with his wife becoming a vampire less so.

Awful wasn't he!!!!!!!!!!!! Some act to follow in Sellers though...........

Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates anyone ??????????

Mike Tyson as himself

Ben Affleck as a superhero?!

Agree with this, Dumbledore was supposed to be fairly kind and a little bit odd, with a dark past which he covered up with oddities. Gambon played him ridiculously aggressively.

Dustin Hoffman as Dutch Schultz in Billy Bathgate

Sylvester Stallone in Oscar..

Tom Cruise as 6'5" 250lb Jack Reacher

Danny Dyer as Oprah Winfrey

Micheal Keating as Batman.

John Wayne....in anything.

Danny Devito as Vitali Klitschko

That one really was a clanger of monolithic proportions.

William Roach as a dull and uninteresting, mild mannered nay harmless resident of a street where something crazy happens every fifteen minutes

Matthew Goode in Watchmen as Adrian Veidt/ Ozymandias. Looks like the guy has never acted before.

Ouch...........

The writers of Corrie have been trying to get rid of Roach for years however as a much loved character there'd be uproar if he was axed. They've realised they can't afford his huge weekly salary and have engineered a story which makes it easy to withdraw him from the show with a view to axing him very shortly whilst appearing morally upstanding.

However, be prepared for Julie Goodyear to come out and say that A/ She knew all along and that's why she was sacked and that B/ Roach and Le Vell sexually assaulted her when she was on the show.

Also, look out for the next round of newpapers headlines "I was sexually abused by Jack Duckworth, Eddie Yates, Alf Roberts, Stan Ogden and Albert Tatlock"

At this rate, Coronation Street will become a 30 minute monologue with Betty pottering around her house talking to herself

Harsh, I think the director's cut of Daredevil shows that the film is nowhere near as bad as many people think it is, but the editing was dire. It's still not a great film but I feel it's a bit too easy to mock Affleck's acting and blame it on him when in fact he does a pretty passable Matt Murdock

Sorry CJ, can't agree. I think he's a great actor (even better director), but thought he was pretty dire in Daredevil. Though, I haven't seen the director's cut, so can't really comment on that.

Kylie Minogue in Streetfighter

ha, that was hopeless casting, Truss.

Jude Law as Alfie
William Shatner as the White Comanche
Colin Farrell as Alexander the Great

Michael Caine...on deadly ground..

Really? Thought he was perfect for that role, a flashy cocky so and so who treat women like **** but deep down inside was a desperately lonely man looking for something real and meaningful.

Let's face it, that was Jude Law in real life, he was bed hopping and banging women left right and centre. He was ideal to play Alfie

Law's problem was that they were remaking a respected cult movie....

He's already been named, but the worst miscasting of all time is Nicolas Cage in movies in general. A greater beneficiary of nepotism than Kim Jong Un even.

Any actor who gets blown off the screen by Sean Connery should never act again. He ruined The Rock.

Terence Stamp as General Zod (but only at the end where he loses it and screams in a cockney accent "Take 'im!")

Rather him than Dick Van Dyke..

OJ Simpson in the Towering Inferno?
OK, he was a fireman or security guard or something but in retrospect...

Michael Caine in Escape to victory........

Running and footwork was so awkward..You just couldn't buy he was a professional footballer.....

I know it's being pedantic..."Pedantic" that's my buzzword for today!

He was much better in Alfie and the Ipcress File....

Better than Jude Law as well.

Dressed to kill...........Was my personal Caine fave.....

Lazenby as James Bond?

Worst Bond but second best Bond movie...

I'm still trying to find that Skiing lodge.....for my vacation..

not sure I'd agree with "second best Bond movie", but I agree that it could have been a very good film, ruined by Lazenby's dire performance.

Nathalie Portman didn't make a particularly good Queen Amidala...

I loved him in The Man who would be King.

I missed the worst one of alltime..........

That little girly boy out of the Lord of the rings...Playing a hooligan...

I'd join up If I new all the otherside looked like him!!

Al the cast in Green Street were about as intimidating as a wet tea bag.

Gary Oldman in The Firm would have wiped the floor with the lot of 'em

The Tweenies would probably have wiped the floor with the lot of 'em.

Ed Norton as Will Graham in Red Dragon...........Thought he was crap as the Hulk ...

But geez.
