10 Actors Who Were Totally Miscast In Recent Movies

Red Right Hand stars Orlando Bloom as Cash, a man who runs afoul of local kingpin Big Cat (Andie MacDowell). 

And while the prospect of seeing Andie MacDowell playing hugely against-type in a savagely villainous role certainly had potential, the movie really only proves why she's so rarely cast in parts like this.

MacDowell fails to bring the resolute menace necessary to make the role work, and given that she's the movie's overarching antagonist, that's obviously a huge problem.

Props to her for trying to break out of her comfort zone at this stage in her career, but somewhere along the line, someone should've faced facts, that she just doesn't have the gravitas as a performer to pull this kind of ruthless character off - especially when she's front and center.

Ultimately you're more likely to laugh at MacDowell's crime matriarch than feel intimidated by her presence, which really says it all.
