Bad casting in a Movie or TV series

That chick from Saved By The Bell who was cast as the lead in that stripper movie.
Agreed. Same with him in Sopranos...tho obviously not main role, but when he came in it was goofy and forced. The fact Sopranos was so well cast made it even worse.
Boardwalk was second/third rate compared to the greats, and buscemi as the lead was a large part of that.
I like how you wrote this as if you don't know what her name is and what the title of said movie is.
Audie Murphy in To Hell and Back.
it's not funny if you have to explain it

I know her name was Jessie on Saved By the Bell. Don't know her real name or name of movie. Truth.
Francis Ford Coppola casting his daughter Sofia as Mary Corleone in Godfather Part III.
In fairness, it was more than just the characters. And I would say Ferrel's character was the least worst. I love Vince Vaughn, but he just didn't fit. His wife in the show might have had the worst acting of the year. Kitsch and Adams were throw-away.
It's hard to go from season 1, with a riveting plot about child sex crimes in the deep south.. to Season 2, which was corruption in a small LA district/county. It was doomed from the start.
-Sly Stone's son as Rocky's son in Rocky V.
-Jar jar Binks.
-Hayden Christianson in the Star Wars prequels.

In TV history, no one was better than Don Knott's as Barney. Warren as a replacement [sick]. Until Floyd was replaced with Emmit.
george clooney as batman. leto was horrible as the joker. tom cruise as the last samurai? really.
Keaton has been my favorite Batman yet.
I great story like Dances with Wolves can hide bad acting but Kevin Costner as Robin Hood was the absolute worst.
Everyone in the movie had a British accent but Costner. :joy:
Yeah I feel Keaton, Robin Williams and Jamie Foxx all proved their worth as dramatic actors despite being comedians.
Ted Danson in Saving Private Ryan. Danson was 51 during filming which is about 20 years too old for the part. He will always be Sam the bartender to me.

The Keaton Batman character and actually the entire movie was more along the lines of the old TV Series than the Dark Knight series.
Ben Afflek in dazed and Confused was a perfect character for him. Also, playing the dumbass friend in Goodwill Hunting (sic on purpose) was fairly appropriate.
But I forgot about the guy who played "Harris" in Major League. Dude looked like he was 55 years old in that movie. Corbin Bernsen barely could pass for a ball player, but ol' Harris wasn't remotely believeable. Still a great movie though.

Yeah, a guy with one of the thickest New York accent playing like he was from the Bayou? Ugh no.
This one immediately comes to mind- Sofia Coppola in Godfather 3 (if no one has said that yet)
I see someone already beat me to it. This woman had zero chemistry with Andy Garcia. Brutal performance and it's one of the reasons why no one likes that movie while the other two were Best Picture winners.

Yeah. In the books, wasn't he a big 6-foot-4 guy like The Rock but they cast a shrimp like Cruise?
In The World is not Enough you guys believed Dr. Funbags here?
Didn't she wear glasses? That's all you need to pass off as being smart in movies.
