22 Actors And Actresses Who Were Completely 100% Wrong For The Role
The cast, without a doubt, contributes greatly to the success of a movie. Many people watch a new movie just because it stars their favorite actor or actress. However, it doesn't mean the main cast nails their characters. There are times people find an actor or actress completely 100% wrong for the role. These actors (actresses) can't convince the age, appearance, or even nationality difference. As a result, they can't bring the character to life in the way the audience expected.
Some of the most popular miscast actors and actresses? Jafar in the new "Aladdin", Joel McHale as Roy in the ill-fated US remake of "The IT Crowd", and Ferdia Shaw as Artemis Fowl in "Artemis Fowl". Ferdia Shaw conveys none of the intelligence, shrewdness, or relentless determination of the book character. He comes across as a child dressed up in a suit and handed cue cards with smart-sounding lines to read unconvincingly.
Could we lay the blame for that one on the casting director? Which actors and actresses failed to play their roles? A Reddit user raised this question on r/AskReddit and ended up receiving hundreds of answers. Scroll down and check them out!

Why the fuck was Jessie Isenberg cast as Lex Luthor of all fucking things
All depictions of him are of a tall, bald, and lean businessman
No disrespect for the actor, I'd take such a high paying job too, but whoever thought of casting him is a clown. - Iperovic
