What’s An Example Of A Perfectly Good TV Show That Was Ruined By A Specific Casting Choice?

Sometimes one bad apple can spoil the bunch.

Poor casting can negatively affect a TV show, especially if the character’s appearance isn’t a “one-off.” It’s important to pull your viewers in and not leave them questioning, “Why is this character even in this show?” Turning the channel is easier than walking out of a theater.

I want to know from the BuzzFeed Community: What’s an example of a specific casting choice that ruined an otherwise perfectly good TV show?

For example, maybe you hated the direction of Michael Pitt as Mason Verger in the TV show Hannibal. The performance felt more appropriate for the campiness of Gotham than a crime drama like Hannibal.

NBC

Or maybe you thought Selena Gomez was wrong as Mabel in Only Murders in the Building. Not for her acting ability, but simply because you thought an up-and-coming comedian should have had the opportunity to play Mabel.

Hulu

Perhaps an adaptation missed the mark, like Kit Harington as Jon Snow in Game of Thrones. His portrayal may have left you wanting more for the character.

HBO

From unconvincing adaptations to the wrong look to pure loathing of the actor… whatever the miscast, please comment explaining why you feel the way you do about the casting choice (defend your opinion). Your response could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post! If you prefer to stay anonymous, fill out this Google form.
