Actors and roles

I'm not sure how the process of shosing actors for movies works exactly, but I do know that when you're trying to make a serious drama movie based on a real live tragedy, having an icon of comedy play a serious role in the movie is not a clever thing to do. I've seen many cases where they do this such as having Jim Carrey or Eddy Murphy play serious roles, but having Liza Kudrow from Friends act in Wonderland was definitely not a good choice in my opinion. It might help her career to get her out of the comedy box in which she is trapped, but It definitely doesn't help the movie. Although, luckily, she did such a great job, you almost forgot that she was Phoebe from Friends, but then she does this "Phoebe" gestures during the movie that just bring you back to thinkin ...." Ohhhh shit! I'm watching a movie...I'm not engaged in the story anymore... She is Phoebe from Friends....
