I have mentioned him but some argue that he is too old, if anything I'd love for him to portray Roland now!I always imagined Viggo Mortensen - though now that you mention it Tery Hugh Laurie might be very good if he could act it well. I tried some other series he did after House and I just couldn't get it - but you never know if that's the writing, the plot, the director or bad acting. He's got those dreamy ice blue stoic eyes.
