Maybe. He wasn't the casting director, as far as I'm aware, nor director or producer. So laying all blame on his shoulders seems a bit singlemindedly petty to me.

Its easy to say in hindsight that we were wrong in any action from the past. The problem is that its the past, and changing it is currently beyond us.

Oh, I forgot that everybody has to take any role offered to them, especially if they'll do a poor job of it

No you're right, if you are a young actor handed the lead role of a huge franchise that could jumpstart your career and set you up for life you should DEFINITELY turn it down, after all you wouldn't want to do a poor job of it right?/s

Then it would seem only fair that we can criticize an objectively poor performance.
