"Honestly, when I was watching, I could have gasped at how much Tom Blyth looked like a younger version of Donald Sutherland. The casting for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was spot on."
3. Lin-Manuel Miranda as Lee Scoresby in His Dark Materials (2019â2022)
"The character is a Texan aeronaut arctic explorer, and when they announced the casting I was like, 'Well I love Lin-Manuel but I don't buy him as this cool, tough-as-nails cowboy.' But then he brought a brilliant, sassy energy to the character and totally stole the show!"
"I read that series so many times and was super excited about the movie. I remember watching it and thinking, 'Yeah, that's Lara Jean.' She was awkward, family-oriented, a baker, uncomfortable, and quirky when she needed to be. That series will always have a special place in my heart."
"I honestly couldnât come up with a more perfect casting. The movie got some other roles pretty spot on as well, like Alexandra Shipp as Abby, Nick Robinson as Simon Spier, or Jennifer Garner as Emily Spier."
8. Saoirse Ronan as Jo March in Little Women (2019)
" Little Women was all around well cast, in my opinion, but Saoirse Ronan as Jo March was just perfect for me. I know a lot of people love the 1994 version with Winona Ryder, but Saoirse Ronan just captured Jo so perfectly. Greta Gerwigâs script and direction were also perfect to me."
9. Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan in Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023â)
"I knew Luke was a bad guy, but Charlie made me feel sympathy for the character and actually made me forget he was bad in the first place, which made his betrayal THAT much more emotional."
"Alan Rickman definitely added a true depth to Snape's character in the movies. I already loved this character in the books, but Alan was such an incredible actor that even people who hated Snape were moved by his performance."
13. Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby (2013)
"He so perfectly fits the role of Gatsby â he's practically made to play that role. Handsome, charming, smart, so perfect. When I was in high school in 2003 and had to read that book, I was still riding the Leo train from Titanic , and I pictured him in the book so I would pay better attention đ."
18. Uma Thurman as Sissy Hankshaw in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993)
"Sissy is supposed to be a tall, blonde, willowy model, with gigantic thumbs. Except for the thumbs, Uma matched the character to a T. I totally bought her as a legendary hitchhiker, model, and cowgirl aficionado."
21. And finally, Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace Lancaster in The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
"Shailene as Hazel will forever own my heart â she just possessed so much of her fire and introspection. The Fault in Our Stars is one of my favorite books, and I was very protective, but they chose a beautiful soul to play a beautiful soul, and it makes me smile every time."
