Five of the best and most unlikely casting decisions ever...
#5. Michael Keaton as Batman in, Batman (1989)
My image of Batman was shaped by Tim Burton's casting of Beetlejuice as the Dark Knight.
#4. Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones and Colin Firth as Mark Darcy in, Bridget Jones's Diary
I wonder what was going through Colin Firth's head when he accepted the role of Mark Darcy after gaining fame playing the exact same role in the 1995 mini-series, Pride & Prejudice.
#3. Marlene Dietrich as Mexican gypsy, Tanya in Touch of Evil
Orson Welles was clearly being Orson Welles when he decided that he'd cast the actress with the most recognizable German accent as a Mexican. But it's Dietrich and she can pull anything off.
#2. Nicolas Cage in everything.
My friend recommended this movie that highlights Cage's unique acting style.
#1. Peter Sellers honoring the Charlie Chan character as Sydney Wang in Murder By Death
Charlie Chan is a character made popular in part due to the ridiculousness of Caucasian's playing the Chinese detective. Sellers is genius.
