  • shanekeeble No matter how much you like an actor, he should match the description in the books, no exception. "Physically, Roland is described by most of his ka'tet as "old long, tall, and ugly" with "blue, bombadier's eyes." He is described as tall and lanky, with a problematic hip that frequently troubled him yet doesn't mention to his travel companions." He is said to look like Clint Eastwood and to be taller than average. I've seen people suggest Brad Pitt or Tom Cruz, just because they have no imagination and just want their favorite actor to play every role. The guy we want for Roland looks like the guy on the cover of the last book, a painting by Michael Whelan. Save the short, overused actors with brown eyes for other roles.

  • shanekeeble I move to add Daniel Day Lewis, James Caviezel and Jason Lewis to the list. When I look at the painting by Michael Whelan, I can see them in the role.
