    all i see him as is "Giles' but to be fair i haven't seen much of his work either. the show he did before Buffy i just love. that one was on for like only 1 season i think.but it's a damn good show. i forget the name of it to be honest. anyways that's a bad pic of him actually.


    it's funny that people have made that remark about him since he was on buffy, but i can't remember if i ever saw that one. i prolly have but how in the hell can anyone remember that from over 20 years ago?

    to be fair, i've seen it happen on other sites where someone was joking & the other person would take out completely out of context & a fight would insue over the stupidist fucking thing. when all that happened was that it was just a bit of misunderstanding.

    i think i found jake....his name is Devin Brochu, no picture because its better if you do an image search, it shows a handful of pictures and he can defiantly pull off the sweet innocent look of jake '77 as well as the young prentice of midworld.

    idk about his ability to act yet, im looking into the movie he was just in with JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT, no where to see it, unles u got a time machine....or patience of steel

    Good call, man. The kid certainly looks the part.

    I'm really unsure about this. I love the DT books and have thought many times that as a TV series or as a set of theatrical films it could be an outstanding piece of work. At the same time, you can't forget how difficult it would be to cast a decent Roland, Eddie, Sussanah and most of all Jake. Imagine you get a child actor to come and read for the role of Jake, they wont have read the books - almost certainly - and the likelyhood of them understanding the main themes and complicated plot seems pretty slim in my humble opinion. Can you imagine a DT series or film with acting as bad as the kid who plays Anakin in "The Phantom Menace"? I think I'd die...

    I would put my opinion of which network should get the series if it happens but since i live in the UK it will make very little difference to me.

    Also just an added point, either lots of money will need to be spent on video FX or they're going to have to find a woman with half of both of her legs, who has the ability to walk steadily on them, move at a fair speed when required and even recieve a piggy back without strangling the poor fellow who ends up playing Roland and/or Eddie.

    None the less I hope these problems are resolved and the series and/or films go ahead. Would be great to see Roland and his Ka-tet on the Big or small screen!

    I've seen some pretty good child actors in horror movies. The big question would be whether Ron Howard can work with kids on something less simple than his past stuff. But then again, Jake isn't all that young.

    Right - everything, as usual, depends on the director. I don't think Ivana Baquero could at the age of 11 understand all the complexity and depth of Pan's Labyrinth, but her performance was perfect; there are other examples.

    I still think Nathan Gamble would be the best choice for Jake Chambers. He demonstrates great emotive ability in The Mist – bad child actors are unfortunately common and usually pull me right out of a film, but Gamble was totally believable as a child experiencing such supernatural and horrific occurrences. His character has the air of a 'real' kid in the film – I think this is especially noticeable if you watch the first scene (if you haven't, you can find it on YouTube). He is the polar opposite of that awful kid who played Anakin Skywalker.

    Boy, ever'body hates that kid, don't they? I think I'll use him for my next avatar after Valentine's. Just to be annoying.

    FYI: Lately, we've been discussing the films a lot @thislink --> The Dark Tower film opens May 17, 2013.
    As I understand it, the TV series are planned to mainly be set in Roland's past, like W&G era... but I hadn't thought before about that saving a lot of television FX money sparing them from depicting Susannah there. :LOL:

    I pretty much agree with all of this person's choices. They even have a casting call for the upcoming The Stand film.

    If the Wizard & Glass flashback TV series is received well, hopefully they'll follow it up with adaptations of the original comics, using the same cast and crew. I really like The Long Road Home... but I wouldn't mind them skipping over The Gunslinger: The Journey Begins, as it's basically filler material.

    I for one would just go ahead and give Susannah her legs back for the show. I actually would get annoyed with her various wheel chairs and often wished that she would sprout some legs just to speed things along.

    I don't think it would be as hard as everyone thinks to remove Susanna's Legs. 1) I don't imagine there would be a whole lot of pulled-out shots of her entire body, save for action scenes, etc. So most of the time it would be simple camera work to hide her nubs. 2) When they did need to remove her legs, they would most likely just wrap the "gone" portions in blue fabric, then shoot her against a blue screen, adding in video of the environment (and the other characters) later, which is not a very complicated effect (just time consuming.) It's the same exact technique they used to remove Lt. Dan's legs in Forest Gump.

    And yeah, I too have faith in child actors, there have been some good ones. Just remember that there are bad adult-actors too!

    On the other hand we could always take the old fashioned route. Actors tend to prefer acting with what they can see after all.

    "Good news! We liked your reading and we'd like to offer you the part of Susannah! How do you think you'll cope with the different personalities?"

    "Don't talk t' me bout dat yo honky mahfah. I's a method actriss!
    "Ooooh! I'm so sorry. I'm not sure what came over me! Don't worry young man I am very prepared. I am already living the roles don't you know!"

    "Method actress did you say? We're delighted to hear that! I'm sure the next bit won't be too much of a sacrifice for you. Fire up the chain-saw, Nige."

    Sorry. My humour goes to a dark place some times.

    Jokes aside, Susannah should definitely be legless.
