Say it's not so!!!!

[BTRNYC]

No Christian Bale
No Viggo Mortenson
and definitely not House

The answer:
DANIEL DAY LEWIS

[liya]

NO NO NO Hugh Laurie. Christian bale has the talent and ability, but he is too young. He was quite the indie actor before Batman.
Daniel day Lewis could definately play Roland (he can play anyone), but my vote goes to Viggo, he reminds me of a younger, more sensitive Clint Eastwood.

Ugly up Javier Bardem a bit with some stage cosmetics, have him lose 30-40 lbs., add some steel-blue eye contact lenses, and get him a voice coach. That's my mental image of Roland.

Relax folks. The movie will never be made.

YES, Daniel Day Lewis would be perfect.
Have any of you ever seen There Will Be Blood? That's EXACTLY how I pictured Roland even before I saw TWBB.

Judy and I were talking about this the other day... What about Kevin Bacon as Roland? Has anyone ever suggested that? Ya gotta admit his face looks more and more like Roland's, the older he gets. And he's a great battle tested actor. And who else is there really? Everyone else has been shot down in one way or another.
