  4. Timothy Olyphant - just watch Deadwood and you will see his swagger just seems like Roland in live action. Actually a lot of the cast of Deadwood should find its way into this movie/series, some very fine actors.

  5. None of them. I think Daniel Day-Lewis would be a perfect Roland Deschain.

  7. No to Mortensen (geez, guys, Roland is not Aragorn!), no to Hamm (too handsome) and a very, very cautious "maybe" to the other two.

    People forget that Roland is not classically handsome. He's actually rough-hewn, leathery, lined, even a little ugly. I don't mind if the actor playing him isn't butt-ugly, but I will mind if he's excessively handsome.

    My choice is very unconventional: Mikhael Persbrandt.
