15 Actors Who Were Just 100% Perfectly Cast

“They were both perfect individually, but the way they played off of each other took it to another level.”

“The fact that he wasn’t even nominated for an Oscar for that role is plain and simply a crime against humanity. Think about it. We all (well, cinephiles at least) are intimately familiar with who Vincent D’Onofrio is and what he looks like. And yet, there isn’t a moment in that entire film when we aren’t WHOLLY convinced that he is anything other than a cockroach wearing human skin, uncomfortably.

Actors get Oscars for playing humans with human problems. Not that far of a stretch for a human actor. But Vincent played a BUG stuffed inside of ill-fitting skin, CONVINCINGLY, and we snub him because we don’t take comedy seriously. Slap yourself, Academy! Slap yourself right in the dick!”

“The speech once he takes off the mask is goosebumps-inducing epic. It exemplifies quiet strength.”

“I once heard that they wanted Prince for the role, but Chris was perfect. No one was ready for that!”

“Though, I could have just posted “Alan Rickman’ and my post would have still answered the question.”

“J.K. Rowling really wanted him for Hagrid. She has said in interviews that, when the books were being adapted, he had to be the first person they approached for the role.”

“The empty intensity and simmering hatred he was able to portray as this character truly could not have been pulled off by anyone else.”

—SCP-093-RedTest

“She perfectly embodied the character as she was in the book while somehow adding even more depth to the character. She was truly excellent and deserved the Oscar that year, IMO.”

“Leonardo DiCaprio was Quinten Tarantino’s original choice for the character. It’s always strange to see original casting decisions which seem, in retrospect, utterly bizarre and wrong. It’s perhaps a testament to Christoph that it’s pretty much impossible to imagine anyone else in the part. Also, I can’t see Leo suddenly becoming fluent in French, German, and Italian for the film.”

“I’m glad he’ll be returning again because he’s the only one who could play him.”

“I know they botched the overall franchise, but I thought he was the perfect Superman.”

—Wazujimoip

“They didn’t even need special effects for most of the animation, it was all Jim’s face.”

—Rais93

“He was such the perfect choice for the part that they got him to portray the same character again in a completely different Spider-Man series.”
