Has there ever been a worse choice of actor to play a fictional character than choosing Tom Cruise to be jack reacher?
Tom Cruise is excellent in some stuff, but Grendel is right about Jack Reacher. It's a miscasting.Yes Tom Cruise playing anything

Totally agree with you. Anyone who has read the books will have a clear image of what Reacher looks like. And it ain't Tom Cruise who's about a foot too short for starters. My mental picture says Liam Neeson.Has there ever been a worse choice of actor to play a fictional character than choosing Tom Cruise to be jack reacher?
He could play Jack Reacher's son perhaps.Not seen any of the reacher films but tom cruise is the complete opposite of what Jack Reader is supposed to look like.

Funnily enough I'd say Liam Neeson. The author oddly said Ross Kemp. Even though not looking like him a 70's Clint Eastwood would do it as as well.
If you can remember Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, then Ted Cassidy who played Harvey wouldn't have taken any crap off anyone. If anything though about 6 inches too tall. Go with Clint Eastwood as well.Funnily enough I'd say Liam Neeson. The author oddly said Ross Kemp. Even though not looking like him a 70's Clint Eastwood would do it as as well.

Agreed, but in Penny Dreadful he's great.timothy dalton as james bond, shocking
Really?timothy dalton as james bond, shocking
Then getting off again and drinking his milk!Miscasting in films ? John Wayne in The Greatest Story Ever Told as a centurion. Hilarious. Classic line in a Yankee accent : "Surely he is the Son Of God." All that was missing was him getting on his horse !
Agree.Really?
I thought he was great. Really liked his James Bond and it is quite akin to Daniel Craig's portrayal. Loved the darkness he brought.
Would have as my top 3 Bond's, Connery, Craig and Dalton.
Agreed, his goal kicks were worse than Oggy's!Surely the top trump of all miscasts has to be Silvester Stallone playing a goalkeeper in Escape To Victory, utterly abysmal.

Disagree. My favourite Bonds were Connery and Lazenby. In my opinion, all the others were/are dreadful.Really?

Isn't she Pussy Galore??You just wait til the next one is announced as Dawn French.
ruined the books for me now because i visualise reacher as a shortarse looking for a box to stand on...............shane could get away with itHas there ever been a worse choice of actor to play a fictional character than choosing Tom Cruise to be jack reacher?
Just in the same way Lazenby ruined it as James Bond , by his acting being so wooden he dare not walk into a furniture store for fear of being sold as a table.ruined the books for me now because i visualise reacher as a shortarse looking for a box to stand on...............shane could get away with it

He was, but he simply couldn't act at all. Incredibly wooden and I find it really hard to watch as a result.FWIW Fleming's quote about Connery was along the lines that he wasn't what he had in mind when he wrote the books, but would be if he could write them again.
Lazenby was probably closer in portrayal to the Bond of the novels.
