Hugh Laurie has the acting chops for the role, but I don't know if I can picture him as the gunslinger. For some reason, rereading the series, I've been picturing Roland to look like this guy: http://www.tedking.com/graphics/tkmain/main_r1_c1.jpg
Though I don't know if he's got the acting talent or not. My other choices for Roland is Ralph Fiennes.
daniel day lewis... roland. But I don't think he would do a gigantic series like this. He's been around for a while and isn't a flash in the pan actor like hugh jackman. Plus he's a method actor.

method acting + roland= only one take when they erm "shoot" tull cause the extras would run out pretty quick
if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do
And Daniel Day Lewis is a creepy, intense, and quiet guy. I think there are some similarities.
I'm not sure if the rumors are true or not, but from a practical point of view Christian Bale is acceptable as Roland. He's a decent actor and he'll be able to do a decent job of this kind of character. And even though he's not the greatest actor, he is one of the biggest right now, and like I said in another post, thats going to be important if this film project is going to get off the ground and make money (I know, I know, money isnt the most important thing, but they need to attract mainstream audiences in order to get funding for such a big series). My personal choices would be Daniel Craig or Daniel Day-Lewis, and Day-Lewis wouldnt touch this with a ten foot pole.
Williem Dafoe as the Man in Black. Hands down, he's perfect for the role.
Jared Leto as Eddie Dean. He looks the part, and he did a good job of playing young New York City junkies in both Requiem For a Dream and Lord of War.
Clint Eastwood as Father Callahan. Nuff said.
I wanna know who'd play a good Rhea. Suggestions? I'll second Dafoe but he really shouldn't have done Spiderman. Something about him dressed in that idiotic costume makes me hate. You never go full retard, man.
I don't know why, but I picture her a lot like Madame Mim: http://www.freewebs.com/evolutionofe...madamemim2.jpg
So much you did and so much more you would have done, aye, and all without a check or qualm, and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.
lol. That's uh, really interesting and strangely horrifying but I always kind of pictured her as this cutie...I don't know why, but I picture her a lot like Madame Mim: http://www.freewebs.com/evolutionofe...madamemim2.jpg
Man, that's Rhea RIGHT THERE. The complete package... including "The Prodding Finger"! Respect Susan, respect... Was very intriguing reading back when I was 11 years old. That part of the story helped me to become the man I am today and to truly appreciate feminine homosexuality.

My cast would be:
Roland => Hugh Laurie
Jake Cambers => Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick
Susannah => Hale Berry / Rosario Dawson
Walter => Steve Buscemi
galdaran, im really liking your cast list. as for who i would be in the movies, personally i'd love to be father callaghan, not sure why but his story touched me the most.
you would have to compete with bears...
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would cast,
roland-misha collins (maybe, with a little make-up)
cuthbert-taylor kitsch
callahan- clint eastwood himself (too old?)
eddie- me
“The thing under my bed waiting to grab my ankle isn’t real. I know that, and I also know that if I’m careful to keep my foot under the covers, it will never be able to grab my ankle.”
Helena Bonham Carter. Definitely. As seen as Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter but of course much older and uglier. Not only for her wonderful looks, but for her VOICE and her fucking ACTING. Enough said.
And I totally agreed with whoever proposed Steve Buscami as Randall and Halle Berry as Susannah. Halle Berry may not be the best actress in the world, but she would be great as Susannah, I'm sure.
As Roland, the one that pops into my mind is Viggo Mortensen. I have only seen him in three films, and those are the three Lord of the Rings films where he plays Aragon. He most certainly has both the looks and the voice.
Once we have all seen Viggo in 'the road' I'm pretty sure he's going to jump up all our lists for roland.
I hadn't heard of it, but looked it up right now. Judging by the pictures it seems really cool. I like how Viggo "in real life" looks quite old, but with make-up he looks in his early 30's. This means, he can have different make-up during different "eras" as Roland, for example looking much worse by the Western Sea after the lubstrosities (spelling?). Also with the right computer work he might play Roland in the Mejis and Gilead flashbacks... that would be awesome. Seeing as the films won't be made in a few more years, the technology might have improved mightily.
Eddie
I found what seems to me the good actor to be Eddie. I watched Fringe today and I felt Josh Jackson has the vybe, humor and face to be our gunslinger of New York.
Here is a pic of him:
Opinions?

I don't know the guy's name, but when I read about Eddie I really think of the guy who plays what's-his-name in The Stand and George in Of Mice and Men. He's probably way too old now, but in his youth... I fell both Eddie and Jake should be "lookers" that attracts girls to the cinemas, especially Eddie but also Jake to the younger kids. Jake as described in Calla Bryn Sturgis and forward seems really cool in my mind. Also Susannah is described as pretty hot, which is why I'd love seeing Halle Berry as her.

I agree with you.
The ka-tet, in general, is described to be composed of what we would considerer handsome people. I think the whole cast I choose not impossible because actors like Josh Jackson, Hugh Laurie, Buscemi and the boy don't seem to cost so much. The only expensive people would be Halle Berry, or Clint Eastwood for Callahan (That I would love to see). However, that wouldn't be unexpected, because Susannah is so far the most difficult and multi-layered character to be taken to the screen, and would be really necessary a very good actress like Halle Berry to take this burden.
Another member of Team House!My cast would be:
Roland => Hugh Laurie
Cool on you.
There is nobody who looks the part more than he does.
I think I would want to be Aileen Ritter. I could most definitely see myself as being in her shoes. I always was a tomboy (still am) and I could see myself dressing up as a boyto become a gunslinger!
(I also would not mind kissing Roland!
Hmm!
Maybe a dirtier photo would help:
OK, that's pretty good.
He looks nice in that picture. But I don't believe he gonna accept make part of another fantasy book series.
I tried to figure out a believable cast. Casting not so expensive actors.
Yeah, it will be a huge commitment for whoever they cast. The only other series I can think of with this many books that became a complete series of movies is Harry Potter, and I think people were willing to commit to that because it was a sure thing. And LotR was probably enough of a life-consuming effort that Viggo won't be up for another giant fantasy series. Still, fun to visualize.
Judging from other Abrams films there will be a lot of mostly-unknowns in the cast, though I think others have already talked about how that would be the best option...ideally it would be a perfect mix of both!
Has anyone ever come up with a good Susan Delgado, by the way? I was just thinking about that that other day.
I am afraid the fact that there's been no serious controversy over her part here proves the point that she isn't much of a character. Really, any pretty young actress would do.
