Absolutely Terrible Casting 🍿😩

I think Vera was well cast and agree about John Hannah and Ken Scott in rebus.
Stephen Tomlinson didn’t fit with the description of Alan Banks but I got used to him.
I can’t watch Agatha Raisin with Ashley Jensen as she is just so wrong for the part.

It was a long time ago, but Elizabeth Taylor could not have been more unlike the 'National' Velvet Brown of the book.

Timothy Spall in Mr Turner awful

I normally like Timothy Spall but you’re right, BlueBelle, he was dire as Mr Turner.

Ilovecheese

Mark Warren (who I do like) as Van Der Valk

Agreed re the delectable Marc Warren and , bafflingly, the even more delectable Adam Palsson as Young Wallander.I can't remember why I thought he didn't convince in that role when he has been excellent in others(e.g. "Before We Die")
AND Tom Cruise as Reacher.

Timothy Spall grunted his way through Turner. So off putting and a disservice to a great artist.

Kiera Knightley played one of my all time favourite novelists, Colette. Colette was small and roundish and Kiera?

John Simm as Roy Grace, totally miscast.

I agree about Stephen Tompkinson as well EllieAnn

And The Pie was a chestnut in the film, not a piebald…

Thank you for the advice. (I have just joined). Presumed because the post about miscasting was there on the forum, it could still be posted on. I will be wary of posting about anything not recent now.

I was the one that resurrected the thread because I sometimes do a search instead of starting a new thread, because things in old threads are still relevant. As far as I know the OP just decided not to post any more otherwise I wouldn’t have done so.

I also ‘resurrect’ threads if still relevant.

Why start another one, lots of answers still good to look back on.

David Tennant as Rupert Campbell Black in Disney + Rivals

Oops sorry, RCB is described as tall, muscular, blonde and extremely attractive.

I have nothing against David Tennant, but he cannot be described as any of the above.

Emma Watson in Little Women-she stood out like a sore thumb with her English accent. How did she get the role of American Meg?
