Which Actor Was Recasted The Worst?

[c0rnedfr0g]

Based on what we know of the characters, their original actors, and their recasted counterparts, which seems the most ill-fitted?

 

[Michael]

They all seem to be spot-on. I'm still a bit unsure about Pine as Kirk and Quinto as Spock. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Dale]

We've seen only the tiniest snippets of any of these performances, so there's not enough data to give you any sort of informed answer.

Ask again May 9th.

I would have to go with Yelchin as Chekov. But, to be fair, I haven't seen a lot of him in action.

 

[JoeZhang]

the red-shirt in the space suit - sure he doesn't speak but I just know he's going to do a terrible job.

This poll is nonsense, and about 6 months too soon. Fail.

I agree, I'm not sold on him yet. He looks nothing like the part. Lets hope he sounds and acts like it.

 

[Kirk1980]

No matter how good Yelchin ends up being acting-wise....his hair is....just...well..distracting.

Not like it matters but what were they thinking on that hairstyle? At least everyone else's haircut either matches their counterpart's hairstyle exactly (Quinto) or just look updated (Saldana) but...that curly mop on the guy's head is a rather strange choice.

NOTE: not saying OMG, HOW COULD THEY but it does seem odd they went with 'close' looks for everyone else but him.

I disagree. YOU fail for not reading the OP. This poll is based on what is already known about the actors, and how we THINK they will live up to expectations already set by the original actors.

I'm not sure how Simon Pegg is going to pull of Scotty... I hope it works though.

Yeah I'm going to have to vote Pegg too. I'm sure he'll be lots of fun in the movie, but it's still going to be hard for me to accept him as Scotty. He just looks way too young and... goofy.

Seconded... I call for a vote on the closure of this dopey thread.

Hmmmm... he's 38 years old and this movie takes place a lot earlier than TOS.

You guys are killing me.

I want to vote for "Jimmy Bennett as Kirk (child)".

 

[dave_R_treker]

There isn't an everyone option, there should be an everyone option. Oh well. I will say in may who is worse.

Honestly, voting on which actor is miscast without seeing them actually perform is deciding which food is the worst of those you haven't tried.

Yeah, but some actors are type-casted. Now when I see Sulu, I get a craving for White Castles.

[Kirk1980]

I guess I should thank god that the only actor I've seen outside of this movie is....Simon Pegg.

 

[Mutara Nebula 1967]

I'm going to guess Scotty...from little we've seen of him...nothing about this guy screams Montgomery Scott.
