Jamie Foxx in Django Unchained. I don't know if I can articulate exactly why he felt miscast, but every time they had a less recognizable actor on the screen I couldn't help but wonder how they would look in the leading role, and every time I found myself wishing I was watching that movie instead.

I feel the same way and I think it's because he's not a strong actor so you're just seeing Jamie Foxx playing himself. He breaks immersion.

The interviews I've seen of him show him to be an egotistical wanker so that doesn't help either.
