Films where they got the wrong actor?

I stand to correct in my opinion after going over the George roles that I've seen...I think he would have been a better choice for King Kong than Jack...I just wasn't a fan of Seinfeld even though George was good..

I stand to correct in my opinion after going over the Jason Alexander roles that I've seen...I think he would have been a better choice for King Kong than Jack...I just wasn't a fan of Seinfeld even though Jason was good...

lots of laughs! I called him George...well he was a George. ; )

 

I think that Jason Alexander could have done a good job in the role. He was in the miniseries Favorite Son and he played a character unlike George Costanza, and he was completely believable in the role. He also appeared in an audio play of The Twilight Zone episode "The Obsolete Man" (he played the role of Romney Wordsworth, played by Burgess Meredith in the original episode) and he was great in the role.

 

I thought the tiger who played Richard Parker in Life of Pi kept blowing his lines. LOL!

 

100% agree...

 

yeah i feel bad of him too, but for me, its his voice ..... it just just doesnt cut it

 

He played a much more frightening person in 1978's Straight Time.

 

Mickey Rooney in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is so wrong and difficult to watch through today’s lens.

 

I haven’t gone through this entire thread, but I always felt Bruce Dern would have been a better choice.

As others have noted, Nicholson look whacked from the get go.

 

Madness. Who needs acting in a Roger Corman film? One with The Ramones and Clint Howard at that. Fun is the name of the game. P.J. Soles was the perfect addition to that Corman classic.

 

Fixed. Hoffs was just dandy in that goofy movie. It's not a role where I see the need for a different actress. Although I could see Deborah Foreman by default.

 

You win. Which reminds me...

 

...excepting the animated series from the 90s, I've yet to see a good Bruce Wayned on screen (big or little). (And yes, that includes pipsqueak Michael Keaton and Batfleck).

 

...but enough about Snowpiercer...

 

Well Jenny Agutter’s would also qualify but I forgive her.

 

Solo. The guy looked too much like Ray Liotta and it was distracting!

 

I would forgive her for anything.

 

Never watch the film, prefer the tune Moon River.

 

Walkabout.
