Now that the Dark Tower series is finally happening, Stephen King might have to have an acting role in the series. Why is this? It’s because in the last two Dark Tower novels, “Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah” and “Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower”, Stephen King wrote himself as a character in the last two books. Stephen King as a fictional character in the last two books was pretty much one of the leading characters. So yeah, Stephen might have to act as one of the leading roles toward the end of the Dark Tower movies or TV series when it comes to a close.
Yes, Stephen King does have acting experience, a lot of it really, so he is an actor too. As you know, Stephen had many cameos in his own films that were adapted from his books. He had quite a lengthy role in, “The Stand” TV Mini series movie when he played the character Teddy Weizak for a few episodes. He was also the minister in “Pet Sematary”, and he was Jordy Verill in the movie, “Creepshow”.
I’m sure Stephen would be up to playing himself for the last Dark Tower movies. They’re gonna need him for this. You would think why would Stephen write himself in the Dark Tower novels? Is it ego? Maybe…but there’s a better reason to make sense with the story on how Dark Tower was created. You’d have to read the books yourself ’cause I don’t want to spoil anything.
I also wonder who’s going to be playing Jake the little boy (hopefully not Justin Bieber), Eddie Dean, and Susannah, who are the other three main characters of the series. The casting choices will be interesting.
