40 Times Hollywood Miscast So Badly, They Almost Tanked the Movie (Bored Panda)

Good actors don't just stumble into roles that are perfect for them. It's a very complex process that involves lots of auditions as casting directors look for the best matches between story characters and actors, both veteran and amateur alike.
However, everybody makes mistakes from time to time. Things don't always work out the way everyone hoped they would. Today, we're featuring some examples of the biggest mismatches in Hollywood, as shared by self-proclaimed 'film snobs' in one online thread. Scroll down for their opinions about possibly the 'worst' casting choices ever.
Bored Panda wanted to learn more about the challenges that casting directors face, so we got in touch with entertainment expert Mike Sington, Hollywood's Ultimate Insider. He was kind enough to shine a light on the topic for us. You'll find our full interview with him as you read on!
