11 Spot-On Fan Casts That Could Change Movie History, and 5 Wildly Unlikely Ones

By /


It\’s not just my feeling; everyone has that one actor they believe deep down was meant for a specific role. Even though none of us get to direct our own films, we still love telling anyone who will listen that we\’d excel as casting directors.


Every now and then, I come across a fan casting so spot-on that I have to step away from my phone and walk around my room. However, occasionally, I encounter a fan casting so terrible it leaves me doubting the whole film industry. To share some great examples as well as a few outrageously bad ones, here are some of my favorites—and a couple more that will surprise you. Shall we get started?
