People Explain Which Actors They Think Were Truly Miscast In A Role

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.

TV Shows Without A Likable Or Redeemable Character

One of the main things which keeps us tuning in to our favorite TV shows is returning to the company of our favorite characters.

The people we wish were our friends in real life, who we hope will take care of us should we ever end up in a hospital, or will come to our rescue should we need the police.

More often than not, however, the characters who are anything but loveable draw us back into our favorite shows just as easily.

The characters we "love to hate" as it were.

Of course, for a show to draw us in, we need at least one character to root for or sympathize with.

As when a show is completely void of likable characters, or characters with at least one redeemable trait, we might find ourselves less inclined to tune in week after week.

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.

Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, however, is only one of countless instances of a role being so perfectly cast, that it's impossible to fathom anyone else in the role.

To this day, I get sad when I think of the show Freaks and Geeks and how it was unfairly canceled. Have you seen it? If not, you totally should. Many of the people on the show became huge stars.

Seth Rogen? Linda Cardellini? James Franco? That whole cast is a who's who of great talent. Oh, and the writing? Excellent. It's a show that's funny and has pathos.

No joke, I will never forget the old Sock'em Boppers commercials. I am well past the age group that plays with these things but that theme song is often in my head. What can I say? I watched a ton of TV as a kid and saw that commercial a million times.

They're now known as Socker Boppers and it's just not the same. Remember that video jingle, "it's more fun than a pillow fight?" Those were the days. Alas, everything good must end.

There are a host of other commercials that have left an impression on people. These people shared their thoughts with us after Redditor No-Caterpillar4212 asked the online community,

"What's a commercial you'll never forget?"
