For me I think it was Jack Black in King Kong. I just wasn’t prepared for Jack Black being in a more serious role.

I never would have expected John Malkovich to want to do the movie ‘Being John Malkovich’. It was such a crazy movie, and he is such a serious actor

Kind of a cliche answer now, but at the time, everyone was shocked by Heath Ledger’s casting as Joker.

Similarly, I was initially skeptical when Robert Pattinson was announced for The Batman. But I thought he did a fantastic job!

Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. He did such an amazing job but it was just so unexpected at first to get over that he was doing a serious role that was a psychopath.
