          I'd say these actors both chose their films carefully to suit their respective and limited skills as actors. I'm not sure if I could say they were miscast, just because of dislike for them.

              Yep even Will Smith said this.
              (He was considered for the role)
              Keanu has a slightly clueless or lost demeanor sometimes. This worked perfectly for Neo.

                Yeah, no one else can say, "Whoa," like he can.
                How many takes were done until he finally stopped saying, "Whoa dude!"

                  Damn straight.
                  That's why the role was narrowed down to him, Will Smith and Owen Wilson.
                  Owen Wilson kept saying "Wow" by accident so they went with Keanu.

                      And Connery should have made Majesty's his last one and Lazenby could have taken over from there.
                      Michael Beck in
                      Xanadu '80
                      . He had no charisma, was average looking to even being ugly, while ONJ was sweet, charming and very very feminine and she needed a male lead with a stronger screen presence to help balance her out.
                      John Cusack in
                      The Grifters - '90
                      . This dude is dry and anaemic and the film could have been so much more powerful with a different male lead say of the likes of Tom Cruise. I like the film and mainly for Huston and the story, yet I feel this was a huge casting mistake made.

                        Only way an american or canadian could take a james bond character, is by explaining theyre british born but raised abroad and lost their accent.

                          And 007 really needs a British accent, as that is the tradition of the character.

                                I have gotten used to Graham in
                                From Hell
                                though and I really like the film. It does seem like an odd casting choice though.

                                once and once was enough.

                                  I heard that the director's cuts of Alexander were way better than the theatrical, trimmed-down cut we got.

                                        Oh, God, agreed.
                                        Don't get me wrong, I like Keanu in the John Wick and Matrix movies, but even I thought that he was really out of place in Dracula. Also, his British accent was so bad it's funny as well.
