Heath Ledger didn't have a single douchey head shot that looked like the Joker, but he ****ing destroyed the part. This match an actor to the look of the comics thing is so ridiculous and has been shown to be worthless time and time again. It goes like this:
1. Write a good script with a strong understanding of the source material.
2. Get a really good actor.
3. Profit.
By the way, even if I gave a shit, Patrick Dempsey doesn't look a damn bit like Dr. Strange other than his graying hair.
Sorry to rant, but this is just something that has bothered me for years.

Umm, right. So Downey did not look like Stark, and somehow Dempsey does not look like Strange. What are you smoking? Both of those actors look like said comic hero.
All of the actors mentioned loved the characters. If you do not like Dempsey, that is fine. But, he is a decent actor, loves Dr. Strange and looks the part. Maybe with your vision Melissa McCarthy looks closer?
