Fan Casting Jake's Father in Ron Howard's Dark Tower: The Gunslinger

A fallen hero, a policeman who ran into the burning World Trade Center on 9/11 and never came home. He appears in Jake's visions as a warm, loving father, a memory so powerful that even the monsters beyond the portals use his face to lure Jake toward them. His death shattered Jake's world and sent the boy spiraling into the visions that would ultimately save reality. He is the heart Jake carries into Mid-World—the ghost of a hero who never stopped guiding his son.
