40 Times Producers Chose The Wrong Actors For The Role, According To People In This Online Group
Sometimes the casting for the role is so good, it's hard to imagine someone else playing it. In other cases, the wrong actor choice just puts the audience out of the story, especially when actors playing a couple have no chemistry.
One person asked the AskReddit forum "What actor/actress was completely 100% wrong for the role?" And over 32K other users chimed in. Some actors gave these people unfitting to the character vibes, some were too far off the described look in the books, some were a different race than their character. Bored Panda has selected the best answers. Share in the comments if you agree.

Mr. Ed. The role required a horse that could talk. The horse they hired couldn't talk so they had to dub all his lines

It's funny how studios make such a big effort to dub movies into other languages and match actor's mouth movements, but end up making it look worse, or changing the meaning of the words. Mr. Ed's lips don't fit the words at all, but nobody cares.

There are plenty of websites offering advice for starting and experienced filmmakers. You know those never-ending titles at the end of the movie? Yes, that many people are actually needed for large productions, and each type of crew is an important gear in the big machine. One of them is the casting crew: casting directors, associates, and assistants. The casting director is a senior role, they follow the director's, producer's, or writer's guidelines and make deals, negotiate. They have a lot to consider: talent, suitable chemistry, actor availability, and pay. The associate helps them find actors and make deals.

Ozacoter 4 years ago
I agree. It gives teenagers a lot of insecurities about their looks and since the actors are old they add a ton of kissing/sex that is also not realistic for teenagers. It seels them the harmful idea that everybody had sex by 15-16 and that there is something wrong if they didnt.

I was just watching a period drama and having this same complaint with an actress who is supposed to play an easily manipulated, scared young woman (and knowing the period, the woman would have been in her late teens at most). The actress looks twice that age, is taller than most of the cast, and throws me off every time she is on screen...and she speaks with the most childlike voice she can muster, which is obnoxious because it is clearly not her natural tone.

In TV series or Movie series it is often continuity issues. Beside the child protection issues. Series often depicts a shorter timespan than movie series really takes to film/product/send out. They need everlasting teenagers, that don't get at to big of a growth spurt. Example; The Ghost teenager in the Harry Potter Movies, Moaning Myrtle. Actor Shirley Henderson was about 36 Years old at that time.

To run the casting process professionally, there are several things to consider. Some available types of auditioning: watching showreels, which is a filmed collection of clips from different productions the actor has been in, it's cheap and quick, an actor's self-filmed reading for a particular role, it gives a sense of how suitable the actor is for the role, and more expensive - in-person auditions with or without giving script excerpts for actors to prepare in advance. The latter requires a professional and comfortable setting which would create an impression of what the production will be like.

Steven Seagal playing a human is the worst casting ever. My toaster has more expression.
Often, when two actors have to interact, there is chemistry read. There, shortlisted actors play together, to see as the name suggests, if they have chemistry. This is lacking in many of the films in this list, particularly noticeable in romantic ones, people mentioned 50 Shades of Grey. However, the Pulp Fiction poster wouldn't hang in every other film student's dorm room if John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson's acting didn't complement one another so much in this drama.

It was my understanding that Tom Cruise had bought the rights to the stories, so it was somewhat inevitable, however silly.
Many of the casting controversies come from changing characters' sex or race from the book or previous film or one ethnicity character being played by different ethnicity actors. The general opinion is that the actor doesn't have to be like the character in their personal life. However, in some cases such as when there is a leading transgender role, many people ask that it go to a transgender actor as they do not get many opportunities and might bring more life-like representation of the character's complexity.

Whoever is particularly marketable at the moment is cast for the presumably highest grossing movie of the upcoming season. It's Hollywood logic. The producers want big names who can attract the big crowds. It has nothing to do with acting skills or suitability for a role.

I don't remember anyone being up in arms or against that casting. Long before he was even cast Wizard magazine listed RDJ as the best choice for the role........ Before they were even casting for it. The only reason that casting him was a problem was that his previous drug problems and particularly previous arrests that had made him unable to fulfil previous acting jobs, made it impossible to insure him. Not because fans didn't like him for the role.

Ginny Weasley... that actress just never grew into that role.

I think that the problem here is direction and not the poor actress. Book Ginny is funny, athletic and cool while movie Ginny is super akward. They made her play the stupidest scenes like tying Harrys shoelaces or the coolie scene. I dont think that the poor girl had much to work with.

as a brown skinned person I appreciated Anthony Hopkins in The Human Stain because to me it would have given non- brown skinned viewers a point of pause - that the historical visual depictions of Indigenous and brown skinned people are social constructs to which social 'value' is attached. I think that having an actor Hopkin's calibre was a means by which to attract a wide variety of viewers and an opportunity to draw those conversations/analyses. Aboriginal Australians are often questioned on their % of Aboriginality (which is not an identity measure for Indigenous Australians) because they have 'fair skin' blue eyes and fair hair

michael gambon as the dumbledore who replaced richard harris. physically, harris was spot on per description in the books but, due to his illness, he did lack a bit of the energy. if he had lived to continue the character i don't think he could have carried the character well due to his fragile condition. gambon seems to not have read the books or just didn't want to play the character as rowling intended. personally, ian mckellen would have been a great dumbledore but, from what i have read, he didn't want the part because of his wizard character in lord of the rings.

Call me crazy but I always thought Liam Neeson in a good amount of makeup would have been a fantastic Dumbledore. That’s just how I imagine Dumbledores voice. Firm and rough but with a gentle quality. I think seeing him play Zeus is what gave me the idea. Also as QuiGon in Star Wars.

I love her, but I think Julia Roberts was the wrong cast for Eat Pray Love. The main character was supposed to be way more bubbly, and her being a bad fit added to the movie being so terrible.
