I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to achieve, but here's a working version of your example:

func cast(value: Any, to type: T) -> T? {
    return castedValue as? T
}

let inputValue: Any = "this is a test"
let inputType = String.self()
let casted = cast(value: inputValue, to: inputType)

print(casted)
