Sounds like you don't understand what acting is.

I think their point is that bad casting is a problem even if it's a good actor

It's not bad casting to get a big name to play a struggling actor. Meryl Streep totally nails that role, but OP can't get past the fact that it's Meryl Streep. That's what I mean about not understanding acting.

Sounds like a problem with your ability to suspend disbelief. While we are naturally inclined to remember actors in other roles and this can on occasion make immersion difficult the complete inability to immerse reflects on you. Most of us feel like that briefly but then are able to properly suspend in a good work and with talented actors.
