Nick Andros was too hot.

[Chumpchange]

He was supposed to be this skinny dude that everyone thought was like 16.


And they had some...tall hot dude play him.


Not that I object that much, I can dig the actor (he seems like a righteous man, if you know what I mean) but I couldn't figure out that it was nick at all for a few minutes. :/ lame

You think that's bad casting, you should read Carrie and then watch one of the movies sometime.

I never -- or, at least, rarely -- mind when a character is changed for the movie. If you spend too much time worrying about why this or that was changed, there's not much enjoyment to be had. In which case why watch the movies at all? All I ask is that the movie be good on its own merits.

Which, by the way, The Stand kinda isn't. Some of it works really well, but boy oh boy, some of it does not.

Rob Lowe is about 5'10" or so, a foot shooter than I-and not near as cute(so I tell myself)

(he seems like a righteous man, if you know what I mean)

...Nick is REALLY Larry Underwood??????

The worst casting was Harold.

The worst casting was Harold.

Yep... Harold is supposed to be a pimply face, obese, sloppy, warthog... not the guy from Parker Lewis dressed up like Revenge of the Nerd.

Amen. Molly Ringwald was a close second as Fran.

-I thought Rob Lowe was perfect as Nick Andros. And so was Bill Fagerbakke as Tom Cullen.

Stand down!!! I've had a crush on Molly since The Breakfast Club

And yes, the Bill Fagerbakke was a silly Tom Cullen.

I love the guy who played Ralph though. He's been in like a million movies with bit parts, but I dunno his name.
