seeing his work.That is one of the very good and hard question seldom posed.
I, like most of us has a certain idea who could fit in a particular role, take as an exemple who would have fit in..say, James Bond...we did not knew at the time Sean Connery...should it have been David Niven ?
No way back, now but at the time we may have been deceived with the choice of a working class nobody. It would have been so much easyer to respond to " as a bad fit, and did NOT make you change your mind! But it was never really easy to discuss easy issue with our friend Victor! I do not want to topsy-survy his question any longer so here is my answer....In not particulary order of course!
-A Bout de Souffle: Jean-Luc Godard choice of Belmondo, I would never had then nor today, but he was a perfect match ( Think of what Richard did! But so lovely Valerie..)
-Jules et Jim: Oscar Werner, the German actor was first a curious choice in my mind but it did work 100% thanks to the Great Francois.
-Barry Lyndon: My GOD Ryan 0`Neal, NO....but there too he did work out fine...
-Wild Strawberries: I wanted Max von Sydow...I got Victor ( ! ) Sjöström who was the perfect match.Only a few in so many, but nothing more comes to my mind right now...But as we are more than one on this board..keeps them rolling.....
