You are SO wrong. That's Mr. King's prototype for Roland I put up, you know.

Maybe it was when he started, but I think he evolved a lot more over the course of the series. Personal opinion though.

Roland: Hugh Jackman. Unfortunately Clint Eastwood is too old, so I figure Hugh Jackman is the next best thing.


Eddie: Christian Bale. The team up between Jackman and Bale is unbelievable. Check out The Prestige if you haven't seen it.

It might be kinda hard to get past the Bond thing, but with long hair and 3 days growth, that's him. (He's got perfect eyes too)

I think if you could get past how damn Britishy he is, you might. Drop the accent, rough up his usual trim appearance, and I think he's most of the way there.

Daniel Craig is way too pretty for Roland.

I hate to typecast the poor bastard, but my view of Eddie has always been a bit more weasily, and I think Dom fits Eddie pretty well. And he's funny to boot.

Nope. Kurt Russell is Roland. It's his eyes.

Still not sure about Kurt, (the chin, man, the chin), but definitely not Clooney. Pale blue faded-denim bombadier eyes remember?
