John Cusack as Richard Nixon in The Butler
John has a lovable and quirky side, which is loved by many and is one of the main reasons he copped many roles in films that focus on romance like High Fidelity and Say Anything. However, when they cast him as the most unpopular president in history, it was not very well accepted and was a big error on the casting director of The Butler. The character allowed Cusack to wear a prosthetic nose, which was a major distraction, and he has featured nothing like the thirty-seventh president. Lee Daniels directed the Butler, and this was not the only film they cast Cusack wrong in. He was also miscast in The Paperboy as a murderous maniac, and people didn’t find it too pleasing.
