Movies With Wrong Actors

Don't you find that in alot of films the main character just completley did'nt suit the part?

I Can think of a few films.

-Behind Enemy Lines
-Gangs of New York
-LOTR (Frodo)
-Gone in 60 Seconds
-Fast and the Furious
-X-men (Cyclops)
-Pretty much every Steven Segal Movie

👽 I would have to the hulk movie for being the worst jennifer connoly and Eric Bana have no on screen chemistry at all. My mom reckons that Hayden (anakin) and natalie portman (padme) have no on screen chemistry but I disagree.

OK, the problems with Cyclops, Anakin, Padme and so on are down to the way their characters were used.

Had Cyclops been given more screen time along the same lines as Wolverine then we'd see just how good Cyclops could be. James Marsden was a great choice for Cyclops and we got a chance to see what he was capable of in that role at the end of X-Men 2. Shame he wasn't used properly.

Most of your chioces come down to how well they were utilised, and not down to whether or not they were mis-cast.

Blaming "on screen chemistry" on the actors isn't fair when you consider what films they were involved in. Star Wars Episode II isn't renowned for having a great script, and Hulk was a bit of a mess anyway.

Me? I'd say my choice goes to John Conner from Terminator 3 played by Nick Stahl. He not only looked NOTHING like Edward Furlong or John Conner from the "future visions" in Terminator 2, but he didn't look anything like the "saviour" of humanity like the past Johns did. Totally wrong.

I think Hayden was a good choice for young Vader. But I think Jake Lloyd was the worst actor to pick for kid Vader. The kid cannot act, and he looks nothing like Hayden.

Are you talking about the actor or the character?

If you're talking about the actor, I would give top honors to Dumb and Dumberer for those two losers trying to play Carrey and Daniel's parts. I turned it off halfway through the movie.

For now, I would say Kenan Thompson as Fat Albert. I think he was a bad choice to play him. They should have gotten someone older.

He's not exactly that young now though is he?

I think Anakin for episode one, would have been better with tom hanks' son. But no good crying over spilt milk.

Gangs Of New York and the LOTR trilogy had great acting.

I have said this so many times in the batman section but the Keaton and Burton lovers just dont get it,they never will.Michael keaton was so totally wrong for the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.He was by far the worst casting choice in comicbook history because of how physically wrong he was for the role.I mean pudgy gut,receding hairline,half bald,short runt,for tall,muscular,handsome,full set of hair Bruce Wayne? what a total joke!!! Some people just dont get it though no matter how much you spell it out to them that THATS the reason they are redoing and restarting the batman franchise because his casting choice pissed off so many die hard Batman fans because he brought no crediblity to the role because he didnt even come close to fitting the part.Tim Burton only cast him be cause he was friends with him and felt comfortable working with him,he didnt care about making the best casting choice possible.I have spoken to so many batman fans over the years both on the net and in real life who hated the first two films because Keaton was so miscast for the role.With Superman,Richard Donner made the perfect casting choice In Christopher Reeve,he so fitted the role,But Tim Burton screwed the batman movies up big time with his horrible casting choice of keaton.Thank god for Batman Begins and Chrisopher Nolan because unlike Burton and schumacher,they seem to understand the batman movies and care about the fans.Casting Christian Bale was a great choice because not only is he a good actor but he fits the part as well and will bring credibility to the role because of that which Keaton could not.Then there is Halle berry who rivals keaton.sorry but she is ugly looking,not at all attractive like catwoman is suppose to be.Horrible casting choice there as well.Dont even get me started on Chris O'donnel.Not only was he way too old for the role of Robin his acting is horrible. Schumacher topped Burton with his casting choice of Clooney for the role.That guy is not good looking at all for the role of handsome Bruce wayne.the guy looks like Eddie Munster for god sakes!!!! 😆

batman.. george clooney AND arnold schwartzenegger? stop the insanity 😘

Movies with the wrong actors (or actors didn't fit the part):

-Hayden as Anakin Skywalker

-Val Kilmer as Batman

-Chris Klein in Rollerball (James Caan owns him!)

-Some guy in the Matrix sequels which I won't name, but some of you know whom I'm talking about.

-The entire cast of Troy (2004)

-Leonardo DeCrap in Gangs of New York

-Mark Wahlberg in Planets of the Apes (horrible remake)

-Edward Norton as Will Graham (You must see Manhunter before Red Dragon to get a good idea of what I'm talking about)

Those are the only ones I can think of right now.

-Val Kilmer as Batman

Whoa wait a minute.how was Val Kilmer wrong for Batman other than the fact he was too lazy to dye his hair black? Other than that,I thought he made a great Batman,he just had a bad script to work with because of corny lines and he at least resembled the role.

I agree, although I havn't seen Gangs of New York but I am planing to

Owah, hang on, I've got another one for ya all.

Ben Affleck as Daredevil. Nobody buys Affleck as an ass kicker.

And yeah, Ahnold as Mr. Freeze? Totally wrong.

Val Kilmer looked wierd as Batman. I dunno, his face was wierd in the suit. And he talks funny. He's a bit Batman-lite.

Sofia Coppolla in Godfather III. Woeful, woeful decision.
George Lazenby as James Bond.

👽 I 'm sorry to say this but I thought that Ben Affleck did a pretty good daredevil the thing that let it down for me was the suit.

I would have to the hulk movie for being the worst jennifer connoly and Eric Bana

Those two, especially Jennifer Connoly, were wasted in that awful movie. She is a great actress and her talent is wasted in such mess.

-Gone in 60 Seconds

If you mean the remake, the only reason I found any goodness in this movie was Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage, good choices but crap movie.

Chris Klein in Rollerball (James Caan owns him!)

Totally TOTALLY agree with you there, can't even stand the actor in the first place. I am ashamed to own this on dvd.

Agree with you on the Troy thing as well. I had no problem with Eric Bana and Saffron Burrows in the cast, but again they were wasted in what could have been a total classic if it was done to perfection.

Ben Affleck as Daredevil. Nobody buys Affleck as an ass kicker.

Urgh he ruined DareDevil, should have gone with an unknown actor for the role of DareDevil. Made it MUCH darker and violent, taken Farrel out and gave more scenes to Jennifer.

Mr Parker, Val wasn't as dark and mysterious as Keaton. Of course I won't dispute that Val is better than George as Batman. But is Val the best Batman? No, he just wasn't.

Michael keaton as batman sucked.

She might be a good actress, but she used NONE of her talent in this film.

Ben was horrible, he is definitely no Daredevil, it should have definitely been an unknown. Garner was also a bad choice though.
