Explanation

'Miscasting' refers to assigning someone to an unsuitable role - a 'wrong application' of a person's abilities or type. This is commonly used in theater/film when an actor is poorly suited to a character. 'Lucky' and 'lavish' are unrelated. 'Missapprehension' is a different word (misunderstanding).
