Top 10 People Who Shouldn't Play Certain Historical or Religious Figures
The people who would be oh so unfitting for these roles, even in parody movies! (Note: These people don't need to be alive right now, but they must have been alive after these historical events happened.)
Stephen William Hawking (January 8, 1942 - March 14, 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His most famous research was on the theory of Black Holes. One of the greatest atheists of all time (definitely inspired someone like me). Why would he play something he doesn't even believe in?!?!
Let's take one of the most famous atheists ever and have him play God. Great idea!
Yep. Great idea to have an atheist scientist play as something that isn't real
Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein. Rest in Peace for Mr. Hawking, folks.
And even he's an athiest, it's sounds ridiculous enough.
Victor Joseph Garber is a Canadian film, stage and television actor and singer. He is known for playing Jesus in Godspell, John Wilkes Booth in Assassins, Jack Bristow in the television series Alias, Max in Lend Me a Tenor, Thomas Andrews in James Cameron's Titanic, and Ken Taylor, Canadian Ambassador to Iran, in Argo. Anyone with no brain would want to cast Victor Garber as Hitler, because a Jewish gay man playing Hitler totally makes sense, right?
The irony is right there.A white supremacist and leader of the alt right playing the role of the leader of the civil rights movement and the man who gave people of colour equal rights as whites.-DarkBoi-X
That would be both ironic AND absolutely terrible.
An alt-rightist playing his worst nightmare.
Mel Colmcille Gerard Gibson AO is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his action hero roles, namely his breakout role as Max Rockatansky in the first three films in the Mad Max post-apocalyptic action series, and as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon buddy cop film series. Liam Neeson, who played Schindler on the big screen, may not be Jewish, but he sure isn't a crazy anti-semite like Gibson, which would make sense why an anti-semite shouldn't play a man who saved several Jews from Hitler.
Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections. Probably one of the biggest male feminists in politics wouldn't want to play our most racist president. (Yes, Jackson was more racist than Trump.)
Imagine a parody movie about Nazi Germany with people like Victor Garber as Hitler and Harvey Fierstein as Himmler? It would be a parody movie as Victor and Harvey are both gay jews!
This young Jewish gay actor would totally work out as a Nazi who did experiments on jews, and also hated gays, right? But now I think I will stop putting gay jews here for playing Nazis.
Because let's just have a cute YouTuber play one of Jacob's sons, amirite?
Chadwick Aaron Boseman (November 29, 1976 - August 28, 2020) was an American actor born in Anderson, South Carolina. He was best known for playing T'Challa/Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. I couldn't find any lists of anti-communist celebrities, so I took someone completely unfitting for the role of Stalin.
He looks a lot like Stalin though!
You know what we need more of? White puppeteers playing Asian philosophers!
I'm laughing so hard! "Yes we can make America great again! " Haha!
Shut up and take my money!
It doesn't help that Sandler is also Jewish.
Because let's make the midget play one of the tallest presidents ever.
I want to see this.
"Make America Great Again" was Bill Clinton's official campaign slogan-m Trump stole it from him.
The creator of Family Guy as the creator of many kids movies? I'd love to see how this turns out
I made an unholy monstrosity!
I actually made a mistake when I made this suggestion. I misread what the list was about. I didn't see the 'n't' after "should.'
Haha, this is something I would pay to see
