And the only two guys I could picture as Roland are Lance Henriksen and Clint Eastwood and they both have one foot in the grave any thoughts??

Never thought about Henriksen, but I do think that Eastwood would have been the obvious choice...hell, that picture of Roland in The Dark Tower VII looks just like him. As for now, that's really hard...I almost think it would be best if they cast an unknown in the role (if it were to ever be made), as I can't think of anyone that jumps at me. And I think that Stephen King has been quoted as saying that the reason he's never been keen on the idea of doing a Dark Tower movie is because he doesn't want a particular actor to be associated with Roland whenever you read the books. For instance, if Mel Gibson were to play Roland, he doesn't want thousands (or millions) of future readers to picture Mel Gibson when reading about Roland.

And on the subject of the books, I absolutely LOVE the first four (and the fifth one was pretty good too), but feel that King lost it with the last two. I just felt that there was so much more that could have been done as far as connecting the series to his other works and I never was a fan of King appearing in the stories.
