Probably The Greatest Mis-casting Of All Time



Jack Nicholson as a Hippie guitarist in a folk band? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film and found it very entertaining. But seriously, that has to be one of the weirdest castings of all time. Good solid performance. Just weird.

Jack Nicholson wasn't "Jack Nicholson" until the following year when Easy Rider made him a star. Before that he was just another B movie actor doing TV and low budget horror and biker flicks for Roger Corman.

lol true. by the way great screen name. JAWS. yes.

i was gonna actually write a post saying both Jack and Adam seem more like construction workers than hippies in a rock band. or folk. i think it's more acid rock than folk. actually but neither look like musicians
