We all have our favorite movie stars, whose presence alone is what leads us to see certain films.

However, even the greatest actors aren't immune to delivering some sub-par performances.

Particularly, when they found themselves in roles for which they were less than ideally suited.

Indeed, Kevin Coster is anything but authentically English in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, nor do Leonardo DiCaprio or Cameron Diaz sound convincingly Irish in Gangs of New York.

Mickey Rooney playing a Japanese man in full yellow-face, hitting every racist stereotype possible in Breakfast at Tiffany's being among the most infamous examples of miscasting.

When the first X-Men film went into production, Dougary Scott had been cast as Wolverine.

However, after Mission Impossible II went over schedule, and amidst some rumored pressure from Tom Cruise, Scott was forced to withdraw from the film.

As a result, the producers of X-Men took their chance on a relatively unknown young Australian actor named Hugh Jackman.

And the rest, as they say, is Marvel Cinematic History.

Indeed, it's rather shocking that Hugh Jackman wasn't the first choice for Wolverine, as it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role, so perfect was the rugged yet vulnerable Jackman.

Something even Dougary Scott has come to admit himself.

Great casting can really make a movie.

For example, a while back I decided to rewatch The Silence of the Lambs. It's an impeccable thriller, taut and suspenseful – even horrifying at points.

But the movie would not have worked without Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins in their roles of Agent Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lecter respectively.

While the actor Brian Cox had played Dr. Lecter in Manhunter to brilliant effect, there's something to be said about the chemistry between the two leads in the former film. It would not have worked–and would probably not be considered as much of a classic–had other actors played those parts.

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor WizznJizz asked the online community,

"Who was the best casting choice in a movie ever?"

It's a great day when you see an actor in a role that seems as if it was tailor-made for them.

While the Disney film 101 Dalmatians is an animated classic at this point, there is no doubt that the decision to cast Glenn Close in the live-action remake was the right one. She embodies every inch of that character. Even if you don't like Disney flicks, there's no doubt that the film is a showcase for her stunning acting.

Speaking of Glenn Close... we might want to just run down the list of her most acclaimed roles, because she was pretty much perfectly cast in all of them. Looking at you, Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons.

After we've watched a movie, it can be difficult to imagine the film as a project that took months or years to finally culminate into the product we see at the theater or on our television.

But it was built and hacked together, piece by piece.
