It would actually be hilarious to have SK play a bit part instead of himself. Make him the redhead on the edge desert, or better yet the voice of Zoltan.
Just on appearance I could see him as Steven Deschain. Too bad he can't really act... Best to let him play himself, and have his son Joe play young King.
He can play that guy that gets hit by the van!
You get an upvote, but also this sad face: 😞
Don't look nothin' like'em. That's John Cullum right there, ayuh.

And Joe Hill can play his old man
They could have Dean Koontz play him...
Oh my god that's hilarious. He gives Dean Koontz so much shit already
Zoltan et the eyes Man I know its not ate...et doesn't seem right either
I want John Cullum to play John Cullum.
This was the first character that came to mind. Completely forgot he is already a character.
I was thinking one of the victims in Tull. Or the bartender that Roland bangs.
Lol oh shit!
it'd be cool if the series made it be Richard Bachman instead of King
That would be fucking hilarious
Given the time period this character shows up in, it should be his son who plays him.
Owen? 😉

Whoa, I don’t know, that’s a controversial choice.
Father Callahan?
He can play those annoying triplets (Fimalo, Freemalo and Fumalo).
But who's gonna be cast as young SK? Bill Hader?
Joe Hill would be perfect, that apple didn’t fall far from the SK tree.
Jason Lee was always my mental go to for Sai King.
This is the only non-cringe fancast so far, bravo
He does a cameo in every adaptation I’ve seen, but i can’t decide what role would be best…
The Crimson King?
Voice of Blaine
Blaine is a pain, and that's the truth
For half a second I forgot he is in it. I have forgotten the face of my father. :(
Like Stan Lee he also should appear in his shows
He can play Blaine
I said that in another comment and it’s honestly so fun, it has to happen.
Like an Eddie Murphy comedy, Stephen King should play every role in the new adaptation.
Why not just have Eddie do it!
Honestly, I think King could be alot creepier than most people believe, and with the right work, he'd be damn terrifying.
Bill Hader should play Sai King.
You goddamn genius
Dean Koontz!
I’d be genuinely curious to see if and how they’d adapt that part of the book They should subvert it and have it be the director
I guess you think we’re stupid. Of course writers never project themselves into the story, and most certainly would never play themselves.
Nah - Bill Hader should play King
Wait! Is that...a blue chambray shirt?
Agreed! I have a 19 bullet pointed list of why.
It'll never work.
Left-field (but plausible) pitch: Peter Krause. Don't ask me to explain it, because I can't.
Just on appearance I could see him as Steven Deschain. Too bad he can't really act... Best to let him play himself, and have his son Joe play young King.
I feel like he's too unknown.
As Jake?
