Sometimes an actor will be cast as an ethnicity that stretches his ability to come across genuine. What are some of your favorite roles/characters cast by an actor who had a really bad or disingenuous accent? Like Vigo Mortensen as Lali In Carlitos way or Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker In Dracula, what are some accents that made you laugh or wonder why they got miscast

Kevin Costner in Thirteen Days (2000), he tried to do a Boston accent and he failed; miserably so. In fact, I think Costner might have failed in every accent he's tried.
In general, I find that UK actors excel in foreign accents, compared to American actors.
Julia Roberts in Mary Reilly.
Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Don Cheadle in the Oceans series.
Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained.
Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element.

Anybody trying a South African accent. Except, for some reason, Leonardo DiCappucino. I don't know why, but he did a really good accent in Blood Diamond.
