i saw a trailer for the new nelson mandela film the other day, starring dennis haysbert (aka david palmer from 24) and i thought: "how can this guy play mandela? he is as wide as mandela is tall.

the trailer has a scene with him breaking rocks (how can it be punishing for him? his arms are light barrels) and one of him leaving jail as normal but with white hair.

anyhow, can anyone think of a less physically or any other way appropriate actor cast in film?
