How do you picture The Stand characters?

[Bad Bear]

Although the unabridged/uncut version has a few ink drawings of the cast, I still have my own interior eye on how the characters look. Anyone else do this?

Anyway, here's how I picture a few:

Stuart: Josh Holloway - Sawyer from Lost http://www.lost-tv.co.uk/images/uploaded/cast_9A.jpg

Larry: Dean Friedman, singer http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

Harold: Jorge Garcia - Hurley from Lost http://z.about.com/d/lost/1/0/K/6/-/...urley-3-Bo.jpg

Judge Farris: Character actor, Fred Gwynne http://www.nndb.com/people/639/000043510/fg3-sized.jpg

Any more?

Stuart:just as in the stand
Larry: Bruce Springsteen hands down http://www.sivacracy.net/archives/br...ingsteen_1.jpg

I have always pictured Stuart as Gary Sinise and Nick Andros as Rob Lowe.

However I do not picture Frannie as Molly Ringwald. In my mind Frannie is suppose to be pretty.

Also I don't really know how I picture Larry, it is almost like the guy that played Larry in the miniseries, but younger.

Once you watch the miniseries I find it a little hard not to imagine the characters in my head the same as actors.

I picture Harold done by Jason Alexander/Seinfeld. Jorge is too cool

i have always pictured Stu, Nick, Mother Abagail, Harold, Larry and Nadine just as they were in the mini series, those faces just seemed to stick. Frannie on the other hand, i guess i alter Molly Ringwalds appearance in my own head just enough to make it fit.

Kinda Off Topic, but one thing about that mini series that really bugged me, they made a big deal about Frannie's baby being sick at the end but they never really elaborated during the whole show about how the baby is NOT Stu's.....that has always bugged me because someone who has never read it wouldn't really understand that whole situation.

I don't think I've seen the mini-series, which is good as I don't have actors in my head. That took some of the fun out of going back and reading 'IT' for me - I could never take Richie seriously after that; the actor reminded me of cheesy British DJ Steve Wright.

Harold Lauder - Shia LeBoeuf, against character and for a HUGE stretch
Nadine - Jennifer Garner
Randall Flagg - Alexander Skarsgard
Lloyd Henreid - Steve Buscemi
Trashcan Man - Barry Pepper
Nick Andros - go older with Johnny Depp, in a really great appearance
Tom Cullen - Jack McBrayer
Glenn - Christopher Lloyd

P.S. Mother Abigail - Cicily Tyson

I read it long before the miniseries, so I don't picture any of the characters as looking like the actors. The closest, for me, are Stu and Larry. The ones who I never pictured anything like the chosen actors are Frannie, Nick, and Harold. Really, there are no overweight teenage boys who can act? Nick would've automatically been treated better in life if he looked like Rob Lowe. I won't even go there about Molly Ringwald

Stu Redman - Jake Gyllenhaal
Nick Andros - go older with Johnny Depp, in a really great appearance

Did you swap these characters' ages on purpose?

[Lily Sawyer]

No. Jake Gyllenhaal is/looks older than Julia Stiles, and Nick's character doesn't necessarily need to be young. Just really, really hot, since there are references in the book to women practically crawling all over him, least of which is Julie the Slut. I think Depp fits the hottie requirement, he looks like he could be of Greek ancestry, and it would be interesting watching him tackle a part that involves muteness.
