miscasts
Picks unsuitable actors
Miscasts is the third-person singular present tense or plural of miscast—to assign an actor to a role poorly suited to their abilities or appearance, or more broadly, to place someone in an unsuitable position: The director miscasts her leads so often it's become his signature flaw.
A production can have multiple miscasts that undermine the whole.
