Top 10 Most Disastrous Miscasts In Movie History
Casting a movie is no small task—you’re choosing actors who’ll bring the story to life and, in some cases, become the face of an entire multi-billion dollar franchise. This process is full of thorough auditions, interviews, and tough decisions, and yet, even with all that effort, audiences don’t always agree with the choices.
Here are ten iconic film roles that were horribly miscast, according to the fans.
1. Johnny Depp — The Lone Ranger
Johnny Depp has been cast in quite a few great movies, but they can’t all be winners. In The Lone Ranger, Depp portrayed Tonto, the ranger’s Native American sidekick, which, as you can guess, didn’t sit well with the fans of the comics or regular moviegoers. In an attempt to defend the controversial casting choice, Depp has Native American blood in him and considers his portrayal to be a positive rather than a negative. Regardless of what the actor believes in, it’s clear that Depp was never right for the role.
