The Dark Tower Movie/Series

[Viviane]

My husband and I decided that we have a great suggestion for Roland, should a movie and or series ever happen: Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead. How great would he be?

Not sure who Andrew Lincoln is so I guess I will Google him.

Welcome to the SKMB! Viviane

Welcome. Yes, I can live with that.

He does seem to be able to handle a gun - would he look good in a cowboy type hat?

I've certainly considered that! Welcome to the board

He can handle a gun; I've read that he gets to the set at least a month early and learns to properly use every weapon he's going to be using (like, at sharpshooter level). Pretty dedicated actor. Added bonus: he rides a horse American-style I giggled at Daniel Craig all the way through Cowboys & Aliens--he may be a decent actor, but he totally rides like a Brit

Silly Western Americans (I can't speak for the East or show riding/jumping--that's outside of what I know) sit a horse very differently than Brits--more loungy, less straight up and down and elbows out (lol)

You're welcome My family is from the intermountain west and I've been around horses and seen them ridden (and ridden them myself--lol) my whole life, so seeing it done differently is immediately apparent. The article is a little wrong, though: although western riders aren't laying down in the saddle (lol), they are much more relaxed than English-style; the weight is distributed differently, more to the seat than the thighs (not sure I'm making sense).

Yes, you are making sense - I have ridden in the past (my friend's horse) but unfortunately the horse went from a trot, to a canter, to a gallop and at the time I weighed about 110 pounds or so - wow!

That was quite an experience!
I really enjoyed the galloping as it was so smooth (until I got launched into the air!)
