I forgot little Ki from Bag of Bones. She cracked me up.
“I taggled my own quartermack!!!”
My favorite is Jack Sawyer. I loved him as a boy in The Talisman and as a man in Black House.
My second favorite goes to Wolf. M-O-O-N, that spells Wolf.

I might be confusing characters here but didn’t the retarded guy in The Stand believe everything was spelt M-O-O-N? Or was he the Wolf we’re all talking about? Been a very long time since I read these books.
Thanks Audrey. I knew I wasn’t imagining that movie at least. And Bacon would be perfect for the role. Does anubody else think Kevin Bacon must get really pissed off at how incredibly underrated he is as an actor?s
Actually Tom Cullen, from the Stand, WAS the guy who said “M-o-o-n” spells…whatever, not Wolf. I guess Wickie made a mistake? 
(Hehe, we still love you!)
No, she didn’t. She’s just doing what Tom Cullen did – spelling everything as M-O-O-N.
Another vote for Jack Sawyer - in both boy and man incarnations.
Henry in Black House. Sharp as a tack.
Dennis in Christine. He was a good friend, but not a saint.
Alan Pangborn in Needful Things.
Bad guys:
Roland D. LeBay. What an asshole.
Bev’s father in It.
Annie in Misery. “He didn’t get out of the cock-a-doodie car!”

Dolan’s Cadillac. And I think Kevin Bacon was going to play the widower Robinson.

With Sylvester Stallone playing Dolan
As for me…
I dig Eddie from the Dark Tower Series. He has come from a drug ravaged H junkie to a strong and solid fighter for Roland. Plus his take on the strange world he inhabits is quite funny.
Stu Redman and Larry Underwood from The Stand.
The Losers Club in It, but Beverly and Ben especially.
Bobby, from Hearts In Atlantis.
I like the ‘B’ names, apparently.
That dog from The Eyes of the Dragon, you know, the one who found Dennis in the napkin closet. I can just imagine curling up to snatch a catnap on top of that shaggy fluffy doggy fur…
John Coffey, like the drink but not spelled that way, from the Green Mile. Indeed, everyone in the Green Mile is dammed good. William Wharton is a marvelous bad guy.
I must see the movie some day. Though it is impossible to read the book and not think about Tom Hanks being Paul Edgecombe.
Roland of Gilead.
Absolutely no contest.
But i usually think of him as ‘the Gunslinger’.
Another vote for Larry here. A while back, I started a thread about which literary character you could relate to the most. Larry got my vote for me.
Another Stand fan here–all the non-evil male protagonists are special faves of mine.
When Gary Sinise played Stu in the miniseries though, that probably shot him to the top.
MMmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm… Gary Sinise…
Ahhh, forgot about Henry from Black House. Yes, I was very impressed with him. I also liked the bikers. They were pretty cool.
Like or hate Stephen King, the one thing you can’t argue that he does as well as any writer who’s ever lived is write characters. His characters are the best, most realistic, most alive characters anyone’s ever committed to page. I look at the names cited in the thread and I practically know those people.
But I gotta go with Annie Wilkes. She wasn’t likeable, but as a character she was a masterpeice. I have a feeling that if they met, Annie would chew Randall Flagg up like an animal cracker, that dirty birdie.
Did Molly Ringwald playing Frannie bug you as much as it bugged me? Not that she totally stank the place up, just that the character deserved much better, and Molly was just no match for the powerful actor that Gary Sinise is (Cranky, I loved Gary as Stu, too - I can’t picture anyone else playing him now). Frannie and Stu are one of the all-time greatest literary couples to me (in the novel, anyway).
I also like the Judge from “The Stand”. The guy who played him in the tv production (Ozzie ?) was wonderful, but way underutilized. Heck, they all were. The tv prod. should have been an entire series that covered the length of time that the book did. That would have been awesome. {heavy sigh}
Susan from Wizard and Glass
Danny Torrance from The Shining
More of a minor character, but the King in The Eyes of the Dragon
Ralph Roberts in Insomnia
Morgan Sloat!!
Nope, no mistake…
But I see a few Constant Readers who never read The Talisman… 
Wolf also said everything was spelled ‘M-O-O-N’. He was a large, simple-minded werewolf with a heart of gold. He wasn’t smart, but he loved Jack, and would have done anything for him.
Without going into too much detail, I believe Tom Cullen had a ‘twinner’ in The Territories. That twinner was Wolf.
