I recently watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes, so James Franco as the scientist/dad. Like seriously, we’re rebooting such a classic and James Franco is the best we could come up with??

Ice cube in whatever the fuck he's doing in the war of the world rehash on prime. From the trailer it just looks like ice cube is reacting to chat about mid af cgi videos

Krysten Ritter in Orphan Black: Echos. They gave her glasses and a blazer and it was not convincing.

I've met computer nerds who look like 50, but I haven't seen the media the image is from so maybe his acting sucked, idk.

Henry Rollins in Johnny Mnemonic. Dude had to play a super nerdy doctor, basically a wet noodle. Let's cast a guy with a nine inch neck and could actually water his way through most of the bad guy minions.

Henry Rollins would be a better philosopher.

Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring, the Chilean in Breaking Bad. His Spanish was not Chilean at all and there are hardly any African Chileans (especially not in the era during which he was supposedly in Chile).

He wasn’t the scientist.

He was the businessman, his lover was the scientist until the cartel murdered him
