Casting is probably an important part of any work that has a audio or visual component to it that would require actors. So who has been the worst casted actor for anything ever? It could be from bad voice acting to bad acting in general, everything is off limits!

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in the Snyderverse has to be up there.
Yeah it is definitely a shit casting decision. I get what they were going for but it's hard to take a clearly insane dumb rich kid as the head of a multi-billion dollar company who also spouts off crazy religious ramblings that feel more like a mouthpiece for how Snyder views Superheros. Eisenberg would've been better off playing the Joker compared to the guy they had.

Speaking of which Leto is a pretty garbage Joker who acts like a cringeworthy tryhard who can't be funny or scary to save his life and literally looks like a 10 year old in Joker make-up. He was decent in Snyder cut but there is still a cringe element to him that can't be taken off.
 
Stallone could of been a good Dredd if he just kept the mask on, so I'll go with that as bad decision.

I'd say most anime dubs of past 10-15 years have been nothing but ass but that's a bit broad and obvious, even before whatever retarded shit is happening in that weebwars thread. I can sit through the drunk english voice acting in Macross II from the 80's but I can't sit through the charasmatic bores Funimation and such hires now a days. (Canada's dubbing group, Ocean, is awesome though)

Michael Cera. You know the role I'm talking about.
Scott Pilgrim? Anything with him in it?
 
Bladerunner 2049 was an epic film. If Jared Leto had been played by Sigourney Weaver, it would have added depth and would have been a masterpiece of a film.
Considering Alien and Blade Runner take place in the same universe, might have been fun if Guy Pearce played a young Weyland.
 
John Wayne played a Mongol once.
