Worst casting in a film

[Deleted member 77198]

I loved the first Conan movie!

Is that when he didn’t have any lines?

Errr, yes

Nicholas Cage in ...........well everything he has ever been in. How such a bad actor gets so much work mystifies me

Plays the same badly acted character in every film he’s ever been in

Whilst he has made a head of dross, I'd recommend watching "Mandy". Is the exception to the rule. And a great performance by Nic.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Lord of War, also a good film.

I watched The Client the other day and the blurb made a point that the young boy in the film was a complete unknown and the director did not want a child actor. He wanted someone real. The boy cast was called Brad Renfro. Unfortunately he died of drugs in his twenties. I'm making a big assumption but I'd guess he may not have gotten into drugs had he not been cast so for him it might have been some bad casting.

He’s great in Wild at Heart, Raising Arizona and Red Rock West.

....Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Don Cheadle in Oceans Eleven. The British accent has to be one of the worst ever recorded on film.

 

[Bill]

Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan in Mama mia. destroyed every song.

 

[Ban-jani]

Ray Winstone whenever he has to play someone with a different accent to a cockney.

His American accent in the Departed was hilariously bad.
