10 Actors Who Were Totally Miscast In Recent Movies

Given his popularity, it's little surprise that Hollywood wants to cast Ryan Reynolds in everything it possibly can, but his performance in John Krasinski's IF proves how even he can be aggressively miscast.

Reynolds plays Cal, a man who works with the Imaginary Friends (IFs) to place them with new children once their original children have grown up and moved on.

It's rather fitting that the entire film has an air of Steven Spielberg's Hook about it, because y'know what IF - and especially the character of Cal - could've used? Some of that manic Robin Williams energy.

Despite his penchant for playing energetic motormouths, Reynolds really doesn't have the mirth or earnestness to play this part well. 

Without an array of sarcastic barbs to rip through, Reynolds seems lost as Cal, bringing bafflingly little heart or warmth to a role that desperately needed both in order to pay off emotionally.
