I'm happy with Bardem (now) if we actually get him. If not we could go for Jeffrey Dean Morgan aka The Comedian from The Watchmen. They even look similar he's like a poor man's Bardem. Just kidding he's a great actor I've seen him in lots of films :smile2:
I like Bardem, but I also like the idea of Jon Hamm.
James Caviezel would be interesting as Roland. He almost has a Clint-like quality.

i dont understand why anytime i suggest stephen moyer as roland to my friends they shoot me down. he's dark haired,haggard and gaunt looking but at the same time youthful,slim build, and he's a fine british actor,with quiet,brooding acting sensibilities. ironicaly enough, i think his performance in true blood isnt a good example of how good an actor he is. sometimes the 'vamp' acting can be a bit cheesy maybe.
oh, and arron paul(from breaking bad) as eddie, also a fine actor. i can really see both of 'em in those roles.
and michael massee as the man in black,
and daniel day lewis as oy, He's that good an actor!!!:-) jus kidding!!!
Man, you guys have sold me on James Caviezel! He'd make a Christing good Roland (heh heh)...he looks about the way I picture ol' boy in my head whilst reading.
:laugh:! And he'd win an Oscar! I still like Bardem. I know he has a different look than Roland as described in the books, but I think it is the acting along with what the audience perceives as the appropriate look that wins the day in movies. It is all about suspension of disbelief.Quote:

They have always had to do that for a lot of actors. For Alan Ladd they would dig a trench for the other actors to stand or walk in when they were in a shot or scene with him. I was watching an Oscars pre-show years back. The interviewer was talking to Tim Robbins and saw Clint Eastwood nearby and asked him to join them. Tim Robbins quick had to get up on a box when Eastwood came over! I do not mean to make fun, it is just that movie success depends largely on audience perception of what is acceptable.Quote:
