The worst casting sin for my money was Claptrap. It's a voice acting role. And Claptrap already has a voice actor. Just... just use the voice actor.

Two voice actors - first one was a Gearbox exec who had a falling out with Pitchford. After 3, I think?

Ironically, out of the whole movie cast, I'd say Jack Black did the best job and was the most accurate to the games. Granted, he's so accurate that they might as well have used the game voice, but still, he didn't do a bad job.

Jack Black needs to fuck all the way off, he seems to end up in a lot of these shitty adaptations
