Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." I always envisioned McMurphy as a hulking Irishman -- someone like Brian Denehey. Instead he was a sawed-off psycho who did little more than sneer his way through the movie. Now Louise Fletcher as the draconian Nurse Ratched was superb!
And Tony Curtis as the slave/sidekick in "Spartacus." "Yo dere! I'm Spahtacuss!"

Martin Sheen (wearing a wristwatch) as Robert E Lee in Gettysburg. I'll second that one. That had to be just about the WORST performance I've ever seen an actor give. He should have been fired after the producers screened the first day's rushes.

LOL! Yeah, I know the one you’re talking about but I can’t put a name on it. Try IMDB ...

It has been a while since I’ve seen it...maybe it has developed a campiness quality over the years...

Tom Cruise plays “Tom Cruise” in every movie he’s ever been in.
For example:
“Top Gun” = “Tom Cruise Goes Flying”.
“Days of Thunder” = “Tom Cruise Goes Racing”
“War of the Worlds” = “Tom Cruise Runs from the Aliens”
“Valkyrie” = “Tom Cruise is a Nazi”
you get the idea....

That’s not necessarily wrong, it’s just ironic....

Really belongs on Broadway as an usher.

How about Anthony Hopkins in “Nixon”? Hopkins is a Welshman who didn’t get the American accent quite right.

I know...but I still like the film. Ernest Borgnine stole every scene IMHO. Kirk Douglas was good too.
To: PJ-Comix
Arsenic and Old Lace should have had James Stewart.

"Kevin Costner, any role he's ever played. He's never anyone but Kevin Costner." For the most part I agree with you, but I would give him credit for a couple of really good performances in No Way Out, and with Eastwood in A Perfect World.

Robin Hood himself would not have spoken with what we today call a British accent. He would probably have spoken Anglo-Saxon, a language as different from modern English as modern English is from modern German, Dutch or Swedish.

Janet Leigh as any character in Night of the Lepus?
To: P.O.E.
John Wayne as Centurion in the Greatest Story Ever Told. (actually not miscast, just weird hearing his characteristic drawl at Golgotha) I got a kick out of that.
