I heard his brother cornered him in the States, and Parker just handed him a thick wad of cash like he was paying off a cabbie, told him to get the hell back to Europe and keep quiet.
What are the Worst Casting Decisions that have ever been made?

It must have been a LOT to get him to back off. Makes me wonder what he did with the money Colonel Tom gave him.

I can't believe I didn't post Samuel L. Jackson in the Robocop reboot earlier in the thread. I don't know who to blame that on exactly (the casting director or the actual director), but we know it wasn't SLJ's fault. He's just completely miscast as a weird Bill O'Reilly-type guy. It doesn't work at all.
I'm also surprised I didn't post Keanu in FFC's Dracula. It's a great spectacle of a film that's marred by Reeves's terrible "English accent" and performance. Winona Ryder was also pretty weak, but Keanu was dreadful.

You keep saying that until you go to "Byudapust".

Robocop was lightning in a bottle, because every sequel and knockoff that’s followed has managed to miss the point of the "TV broadcasts".
I said it before, but: Keanu Reeves got cast in three period pieces back-to-back, and was a disaster in every one. (John Malkovich sounds like he’s been given the script to Dangerous Liasons as punishment. Bored, defeated, and pissed off to be there.)

Michael's Cera in literally every role that isn't George Michael.
Typecasting is usually bad but Cera is a purebred nerd. He's horrifically miscast in anything that requires him to portray any masculinity whatsoever.

He was also in a psychological-spiritual horror film, called Magic Magic, with Juno Temple. He's very... camp (a bloke who acts overly fruity or queer, but isn't always actually gay), and weird, and it's VERY annoying.

Ironically he plays a decent Scott Pilgrim. Well the nerdy dweeb side of him. The movie and subsequently Cera can't portray the more nuanced and shitty traits of Scott.
And Cera is Cera so how the fuck he suddenly becomes the object of affection for two girls (Knives and Ramona respectively) is beyond me.
He's too camp and inoffensively nerdy. He's like a factory reset male, custom made to be a goof but something went wrong in the production so how his masculinity is broken.

He's okay in Superbad, but, eh, I'm not bothered about anything he's in. The female attention thing, though, I'd like to bring up similar thoughts about Anton Yelchin: when I saw Burying the Ex, and Odd Thomas recently-ish; He's a cute little fella, but I don't see drop dead gorgeous girls instantly falling for him. Not to the degree, and... quickness(?) I saw in those two films. Although, in Odd Thomas, he was childhood friends with his love.

■ Bella Ramsey in The Last of Us.
■ Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us.
■ Tom Cruise in Reacher.
■ Jon Foo in Tekken... but then, they fucked with the dynamic of the games, so mostly everyone, apart from Eddy Gordo, Marshall Law, Jun Kazama, and Heihachi Mishima. As much as I like Luke Goss' Steve Fox, I couldn't get past him not being in his 20s, like Jin.
- I take it back about Jon Foo (Jin), I've decided. Anton Kasabov (Dragunov) was the worst. Ian Anthony-Dale (Kazuya) was pretty naff, too, but the trouble with that movie, is that the setting, and therefore the backgrounds of a handful of the fighters, ended up being vastly different than the mainstream games, so, looking at it that way, that's the fault of the setting, if you get the gist.
○ Margot Robbie in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
● Toby Kebbell in Fan4stic, but this is down to how they decided to change shite that didn't need to be changed, such as with FF4 "1", and FF4 "2": Rise of the Silver Surfer, where Dr. Doom is given powers to match the Four, so he's an obnoxiously obvious hamfisted antithesis of them, rather than include K'lrt the Super Skrull. I'd like to lump my spiel about Tekken in there, as well.
◇ Tom Hardy in Capone. Alreet, not really, but Stephen Graham fucking nailed him in Boardwalk Empire, so I thought it'd be cool to see him as the dying old man, who was only 47.
▪︎ Nathan Jones in Mortal Kombat. General Reiko isn't meant to be that swole, but although, it'll be interesting to see Shao Kahn, who will likely freakishly dwarf Reiko in looking monstrous.

Hari Nef in Barbie (2023).
Part of the problem is of course that he's a fucking tranny playing an actual woman, which is automatically a bad casting choice. But even if you choose to ignore the fact that he's a troon, his performance is one of the worst in the whole movie. He only has the ability to deliver his lines in a wooden manner or to overact like in the "flat feet" scene. Even some TRAs admit he's a shit actor.

Richard Gere in Days of Heaven. He was a very decent actor, but that setting and the film in general wasn't for him.

That movie really sucked imo, but I also hadn't read the comic. Ramona wasn't compelling enough for me to buy into the story, and the whole talk of video game references just felt artificial and purely aesthetic.

That role should have went to someone like Christian Bale

It does read better in the comics as the movie is incredibly rushed. So there's a lot of development that gets cut out
For one, Gideon the seventh ex is far more sinister and interesting than the Austin Powers looking dude in the movie.
But enough nerding!
Thread tax: Tadanobu Asano as Raiden in Mortal Kombat 2021. Guy can act but what the fuck was the deal with that accent??
Edit: typo and omfg didn't notice the double post. Pardon me.

You ever notice how Tom Cruise is always breathless in every movie? Like, no matter the situation, this guy’s always gripping the wheel like he just found out his brakes are cut.
American myths in foreign hands.
