Thread Name: BS: Worst MISCAST ever.
Subject: RE: BS: Worst MISCAST ever.
I saw Blazing Saddles for the first time just this year and thought it was awesome. Cleavon Little's Sheriff was the only person in the whole story who had anything resembling a lick of sense.

My favorite miscast is Reba McEntire as Annie Oakley in Buffalo Girls. The Annie Oakley I have read about was not red-headed, nor did she have an Oklahoma accent, since she was from Ohio. I thought the whole point of "acting" was to look and sound like the person you're portraying. Boy have I ever been deludinated.

I hear she's now in Annie Get Your Gun, which really affrights me.

A lot of people didn't like Martin Sheen as Robert E. Lee in Gettysburg, and I have to admit, I was skeptical, but I think he did all right.
