I’d also like to find a spot for [Michael Hogan](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0389581/) (Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica). Maybe Eldred Jonas? Cort?

I know she’s technically too old for the role, but I would love to see Regina King as Odetta.

He’s really too old for the role, but Hogan would have been an interesting choice for Roland. The fellow does deeply-flawed hardasses extremely well.

Now that you’ve said it, I can’t think of a better Cort.

I’d like to see [Ryan Wynott](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2462217/) as Jake. Of all the actors age 10-14 I’m currently familiar with, he’s the one that most closely resembles my mental picture of Jake.
