    You should make a list of all of the actors that turned down roles all because they didn’t understand the script.

    I think Alec Guinness' problem was likely less that he didn't get the character and more Lucas wasn't that good a writer. I've seen interviews of Hamill and Ford also criticizing dialogue that was cut from the first movie and we've all seen the prequels.

    Christopher Plummer shouldn’t be on this list. He understood the movie he just didn’t like it.

    After his final great performance in The Godfather, Marlon Brando pretty much gave up. He didn't do much after that except take the money, mumble the lines, and not read the pages that didn't feature him.
    George Clooney followed the script and direction. The biggest problem with that movie was not the actors; it was the director.

      Nolan later said at Colbert that Tenet was never meant to be understood. Yeah,RIGHT! Just like Tommy Wiseau said(after audience laughed at the premiere)that The Room was intended as a comedy from the begining. Yeah, right...

    I'm glad I watched this, because I always got the vibe that something was...off...about Plumber's performance in Sound of Music. For me it was the lack of chemistry between him and Julie Andrews (their acting ability managed to capture their romance, but not by a lot IMHO), but this vid makes it apparent there was even more (or less??) going on!
