Hartman doesn’t count. He stole that role, he wasn’t cast in it.

Captain Willard

Casting someone who was on a weird fucked up journey, to make a film about going on a weird fucked up journey was pretty good casting if you ask me.

Robert Duvall in pretty much everything.  Great Santini, Godfather I & II, Apocalypse Now, Lonesome Dove, Tender Mercies, The Apostle, and for a change of pace, Colors with the no-talent Sean Penn.

Office Space cast.  Love this movie.  Aniston and Livingston were name brands, but the rest of the cast was mostly unknown.  Not sure the movie would be as good with any others cast in the roles.

Sort of on Daniel Craig but Sean Connery did it better, but of course.

And Gary Oldham as Norman Stansfield was perfection.   And so was Jean Reno as Leon.
