40 Times Hollywood Miscast So Badly, They Almost Tanked The Movie

He's great at playing Steven Seagal. Actually that's the only thing he can do. If you know of a single movie starring Steven Seagal where he is not just Steven Seagal, please tell me.

His first few movies, through Under Siege, we good. After? Terrible. And his whole adopting Russia thing

Only exceeded by Jared Leto as terrible choice for anything and worse over time.

His first few movies actually had plots and weren't too bad. But starting with "On Deadly Ground" they became ridiculous. My dad enjoyed them for the violence (he was a pacifist in real life - came home from WW II with a different perspective) but could never remember the titles. He'd say, "I want to watch the one where he's in a coma." I'd say, "Hard to Kill, Dad." Or "That one where he's looking for Richie." (Out for Justice) Or, "That one where he breaks the guy's back over his knee." (Marked for Death). I miss my dad. But Steven Seagal can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Will Smith in anything cause he's gonna over act and over do it. Most fake laugh in hollywood

I literally just mentioned this in my Emma Stone "Aloha" comment. Yellow face is a thing. The only thing worse was Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man.

This movie was made, and the only thing that happened was everybody involved got cancer and died.

How about Wiiliam Shatner (soon after the end of 'Star Trek: TOS') as Alexander the Great - still rocking Kirk's hair style.

In 1965 (9 years later) another yellow-face Genghis Khan film was made but at least they cast Omar Sharif for the role and that film was generally pretty decent.

That was truly the definition of the word "suck."

Tom Cruise in anything. Can't stand him.

Was he on a box and everyone else in a trench, or did they use forced-perspective camera tricks to make him seem taller?

Except he absolutely nailed it.

After reading the books, this was a huge disappointment. Reacher is described A LOT as being 6'5" in the books.

This was worst mismatch ever!

I remember a few years ago I played this guessing game when getting to know my college friends... At the time we knew little about each other so we had fun guessing which country each of us was from. When it was my turn. One said I was Turkish, Another guessed South American, narrowed to Columbian, He specifically said I looked like a Rebel/Dictator/Druglord... I would have been pissed... IF HE WAS NOT SO RIGHT I mean I did have a beard and a hoodie on... But I could see a general theme... So to "help" them I showed them what my brother, sister and cousin looked like. My sister had snow white levels of clear skin with ebony hair. My brother was a tiny shade darker than her but with blond hair. My cousin looked JUST like my brother but with a much darker complexion and hair! Think a shade between an average black american and an average Indian! They were completely discombobulated! I hope you can all see the point i am making!

The character was a quarter Hawaiian, a quarter Japanese and half Swedish. They either should have removed the Japanese part and named her something else, or cast someone different.

Some of the most blatant whitewashing in modern cinema...

I remember my roommate watching this. I stopped, said what the f**k, and left

They didn't even bother with makeup to change her skin tone to something more believable, disgusting.

I don't think he was necessarily a bad choice. It's just that the choices made for his performance, whether they be by him, the director, or someone else, were terrible. He had like 45 seconds at the end of the Snyder Cut of Justice League where he actually showed he could be a good Joker. It was one of the few good things about that film.

I think any actor playing Joker would suffer, coming after Heath Ledger

I know this will earn me some hate, but I enjoyed his take on Mr.J.

But do we know whether his protrayal is HIS fault or not? Directors don t always give actors the choice to act the role in the way they want it, there are actors who had to horribly overact in a movie because that was what the director wanted. So I do wonder, do we actually know if his portrayal was his vision or the director's vision? Because we know that Jared Leto can really act, didn't get an Oscar for Dallas Buyer's Club for no reason.

I rather liked his portrayal. The character design, not so much. Still leagues better than 2 hours of Joaquin Phoenix smoking cigarettes shirtless and that forced laugh, and I will die on that hill.

I thought she was fine in Aquaman. Not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. Like most people in superhero films.

Yeah, she's awful in general. Guess that's why I never Heard of her....lol

100% agree she was SO bad in Aquaman. I said that before all the court stuff.

Oh boo hoo. They were both awful.
