has there ever been an organized crime movie, where you feel that the actors or actresses were miscast?

one for me, was the 1991 movie Mobsters.... but even though it wasnt historically accurate, i love that movie

because its violently graphic and full of action.

but everytime i see it, i feel some actors and characters were miscast.... they cast Richard Grieco as Ben Siegel,

and Costas Mandylor as Frank Costello.
but in my opinion, Mandylor's face looked way more like Siegel, than Grieco did. and Grieco looked more like

Costello than Mandylor.... im sure it was because Grieco was a more known actor, than Mandylor at the time.
i thought that Patrick Dempsey and Christian Slater's roles were cast well....even though in this movie, Lansky was

taller than Luciano but then again,
they were up against Salvatore "Faranzano" not "Maranzano"....so i guess anythin goes in this movie...haha. but i do

think that F. Murray Abraham, played the best Arnold Rothsetin on film to date.
but anyway, "long story boring", if they had fixed this it wouldve been an even better movie.

now if i made a movie or movies, below are the actors that i would choose for each role. note all these characters

arent in the same movie, they are just the actors next to the character that i would choose for them. below is a

list of older era actors, and more modern day actors.
