Miscast Actors/Actresses.

Vigo Mortensen as Aragorn in Lord of the Rings.

Far too weedy.

Oh no, it was Robert Redford, you’re right.

Oh well, someone pretty fanciable, anyway.

(though according to another thread we mustn’t say that any more?)

I agree Lucca. I watched one episode of Vera once. It made me cringe.

Uhtred in Bernard Cornwell’s Last kingdom series! In the books he towered over other men and his great height intimidated his foe. In the series he’s about the same height as the other characters.

I am used to it now and treat the books and tv series as two separate entities.

Ingrid Bergman as Gladys Aylward: 'Inn of the Sixth Happiness';
Meryl Streep as Donna(?) in 'Mamma Mia';
Lily James in most things recently;
Andie Mc Dowell in 'Four Weddings and a Funeral;

All of them good actresses, just wrong roles.

Pretty certain it was Richard Gere. I’ll look it up.

Richard Gere in Indecent Proposal.

I mean, come on, like he’d have to pay the woman a million pounds to sleep with him.

It should have been someone sleazy and repulsive.

Wasn’t it Robert Redford?

I agree about Richard Gere though.

Oh, and Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple.

Aargh!

Oh I do agree ! In fact anybody but the wonderful Joan Hickson.

Haven’t read the books ...if there are any...but Brenda blethyn as Vera....her Geordie accent is awful so I never watched more than one episode.

Oh, and Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple.

Aargh!

Richard chamberlain as Ralph de Bricassart in the Thorn Birds.....he should have been dark haired and dark eyed and sexy ......

Oh yes definitely Jack Reacher. Wasn’t he six foot four in the books?

Allof the cast in the Inspector Lynsey mysteries.

Tamzin Outhwaite in anything.

Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Nothing like how he is described by the author

Richard Gere in Indecent Proposal.

I mean, come on, like he’d have to pay the woman a million pounds to sleep with him.

It should have been someone sleazy and repulsive.
