Worst Casting Ever for a Movie?

[captnaj phd]

I was talking with some guys earlier (okay, it was TAN, but that's how I introduce conversations I have online) and Nick Cannon's unfortunate casting as Richard F. Pryor in an upcoming film led to a discussion of abysmal casting choices, which led to my eternal nomination whenever this topic comes up, Flex Alexander's tour de farce performance as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

I'm pretty sure this is the single worst casting choice in the annals of modern media.

for real....

Objectively speaking, Belly isn't a very good film, but Nas was absolutely TERRIBLE. He's just not a good actor.

DMX was perfect for Tommy, but Nas' performance was lazy and uninspired. It was literally like he was half asleep the entire time, just straight up reading his lines.

Nas was the worst actor in that film by a long shot, everyone else delivered but God was Nas terrible.

Poor casting 101... Popular rappers may generate interest in a film, but that does not equate to them being able to provide a good performance.

He was terrible the whole movie, almost makes this unwatchable for me.

Yeah, he was stiff in the movie, but people still refer to him as Shuttlesworth, he did something right.

Nic Cage as Ghost Rider

...in Snakeyes...etc. I've grown to despise this guy. Damn near walked out on Ghost Rider 2
