William Dafoe as John Clark in Clear and Present Danger. Nothing against Dafoe, but that was a terrible call in casting.
Liev Shrieber actually made a decent Clark/Kelly in Sum of All Fears, even though the movie was mediocre.

Actually, as some one else mentioned Orlando Bloom wasn't miscast in Troy, everything else yes, but not troy. Paris was a total little bitch and I totally buy Orlando as a little bitch. Sorry Orlando, we all have our strengths...I'm afraid yours is portraying little bitches princes that should be disowned by their families for letting their dicks get out of control. I mean, you hate that fucking character when you read about him. He basically destroys the Trojans entire civilization for some pussy. Yes, Helen of Troy was supposedly super hot but he is a prince so he already had more ass than he knew what to do with but nooooo...he has to have the one woman that will destroy his entire civilization. Worst of all, it looked like he'd already got to bang her in Troy. He should have just left her ass in Greece.
ANYWAY...how about any native american character in any movie from the 60s?
Leonardo DiCaprio in The Basketball Diaries
I thought he fit his part good in From Dusk Til Dawn. Or his little spot in Pulp Fiction.
Keanu Reeves in anything
Timothy Olyphant in Hitman. He just totally wasn't Agent 47. Really they probably needed an unknown in that role, very pale, very tall, and very malevolent in feeling. The IMDB boards are full of other people that have noticed this crazy casting. Olyphant has been fine in other stuff before, but this was terrible casting.
Worst casting ever Sir John Gielgud as Chang in Lost Horizon. Yes the same actor who portrayed Arthur's butler portraying an Asian man in a musical about the lost paradise called Shangri-la. link
Honorable Mentions:
Charlton Heston as Ramon "Mike" Vargas in a Touch of Evil link
Kevin Costner as Robin Hood (drops the horrible attempt at a British accent after 15 minutes),
link
Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble, Betty wasn't a fatty.
Actually, I don't think Chef LaBeefadee just shut the fuck up in his movies. He plays the same fucking guy in every movie, a not funny guy that thinks he's funny.
Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible or Knight and Day or anything else in that genre. Seeing him as an action hero is funnier than anything Seth Rogen has ever done.
He is note perfect in Rain Man.

He's perfect for his roles because every movie hes some lame little twerp, so he doesn't even have to act, but I still hate Michael Cera viciously.
And I love Gangs of New York but why anyone would pick Cameron Diaz for a serious role is a mystery to me, her accent is pretty abysmal and she doesn't really look remotely desirable with that hair and the period clothing.
And in response to the Prince of Persia miscast, I always thought Ryan Reynolds might have done well in it. In the game, the Prince was kind of funny/snarky which Reynolds is great at. Though I don't know if the movie kept that tone and if Reynolds can handle serious/action bits.
Yet you don't mention Lee Marvin, also given a "singing" role in the same film.Clint Eastwood in Paint your Wagon.
Almost unbearable? You are far, far too generous.Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi in Breakfast at Tiffany's is almost unbearable. I can't believe no one else said it. It has to be the #1 horrible casting ever..
