Sometimes the casting for the role is so good, it's hard to imagine someone else playing it. In other cases, the wrong actor choice just puts the audience out of the story, especially when actors playing a couple have no chemistry. 

One person asked the AskReddit forum "What actor/actress was completely 100% wrong for the role?" And over 32K other users chimed in. Some actors gave these people unfitting to the character vibes, some were too far off the described look in the books, some were a different race than their character. Bored Panda has selected the best answers. Share in the comments if you agree.

40 Times Producers Chose The Wrong Actors For The Role, According To People In This Online Group Mr. Ed. The role required a horse that could talk. The horse they hired couldn't talk so they had to dub all his lines

There are plenty of websites offering advice for starting and experienced filmmakers. You know those never-ending titles at the end of the movie? Yes, that many people are actually needed for large productions, and each type of crew is an important gear in the big machine. One of them is the casting crew: casting directors, associates, and assistants. The casting director is a senior role, they follow the director's, producer's, or writer's guidelines and make deals, negotiate. They have a lot to consider: talent, suitable chemistry, actor availability, and pay. The associate helps them find actors and make deals.

I agree. It gives teenagers a lot of insecurities about their looks and since the actors are old they add a ton of kissing/sex that is also not realistic for teenagers. It seels them the harmful idea that everybody had sex by 15-16 and that there is something wrong if they didnt.

Their assistant helps with various technical details, such as running the audition waiting room, camera work, reading the lines, etc. so the casting director can focus on the actors. If one is interested in becoming a casting director, it is advised they gain experience as a runner or assistant first, having graduated in Film and TV also helps. These beginner roles can be found on dedicated websites and social media groups dedicated to filmmakers in a particular area.

To run the casting process professionally, there are several things to consider. Some available types of auditioning: watching showreels, which is a filmed collection of clips from different productions the actor has been in, it's cheap and quick, an actor's self-filmed reading for a particular role, it gives a sense of how suitable the actor is for the role, and more expensive - in-person auditions with or without giving script excerpts for actors to prepare in advance. The latter requires a professional and comfortable setting which would create an impression of what the production will be like.

Often, when two actors have to interact, there is chemistry read. There, shortlisted actors play together, to see as the name suggests, if they have chemistry. This is lacking in many of the films in this list, particularly noticeable in romantic ones, people mentioned 50 Shades of Grey. However, the Pulp Fiction poster wouldn't hang in every other film student's dorm room if John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson's acting didn't complement one another so much in this drama.

Many of the casting controversies come from changing characters' sex or race from the book or previous film or one ethnicity character being played by different ethnicity actors. The general opinion is that the actor doesn't have to be like the character in their personal life. However, in some cases such as when there is a leading transgender role, many people ask that it go to a transgender actor as they do not get many opportunities and might bring more life-like representation of the character's complexity.

The Academy Awards introduced representation and inclusion standards for eligible films. While there was a lot of blowback, the standards are not that hard to meet. Though, some of them do require keeping some statistics about cast and crew composition. There are 4 standards, at least 2 of which the best picture nominees for 2024 must meet. Such as "at least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group", "The film’s distribution or financing company has paid apprenticeships or internships that are from the following underrepresented groups: women, racial or ethnic group, LGBTQ+, people with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing."

I only heard this idea recently: maybe belle is bored because the whole town was enchanted to forget the beast, so they might also be stuck in some loop. Belle and her father joined the village after leaving Paris, and after the beast enchantments were cast. Maybe she found the village boring because it really was super-monotonous (cause of the spell) 🤷‍♀️

Ginny Weasley... that actress just never grew into that role. I know it’s hard to cast kids that young, but man they should have replaced her for the last few movies, it was harsh seeing Harry have more actual chemistry with a Muggle coffee shop girl (who was amazing) than the supposed love of his life (who was nothing like fiery character in books).

John Dorian as Dr. Acula. He is way to hammy, and not very threatening for a vampire who is behind loads of mysterious deaths in the hospital. He clearly only got the part because he wrote the darn script for it. It was also a very racist filming process where multiple times Chris Turk was told to "act blacker". In good conscience I can't support the film
