If you have read the Alex Cross series of books by James Patterson, then you would know that Morgan Freeman is to old to play Alex Cross. I always pictured Wesley Snipes playing the role of Det. Alex Cross.

God, I wanted to throw up when I saw that movie. One of the greatest TV shows ever and they bastardized it. :evil:

actually I think he was great for the role especially in Episode III.


As for miscasting, I'm thinking Cedric the Entertainer in his version of the Honeymooners.

And the new prequel for Carlitos Way looks like miscasts accross the board.

Barry Pepper played Maris, Thomas Jane played Mickey Mantle. And I didn't think it was that bad.

Seeing as how the only point of reference we have is a comic book, or The Punisher as played by Dolph Lundgren, I think his portrayal was pretty good. Compared to Lundgren, Thomas Jane should have been nominated for an Academy Award.

I'll say that Christenson did really well in those movies, except the romance scenes. Wooden.

Sorry, got the two confused. But that was a bad movie all around.

And anybody compared to Dolph Lundgren should be nominated for an Academy Award. :lol:
