Collider: Alexander Skarsgard to Play Randall Flagg in ‘The Stand’ on CBS All Access
- Thread starter Spectromixer

This is so odd. First Pennywise, then the bad guy from Castle Rock, and now Flagg? It's almost like...like they're setting him up to be Walter.
EDIT: My mistake. Different Skarsgard.

it's great! one of my favorites of all time. the audiobook is really well done
He is an awful actor and was the only flaw in the otherwise perfection that was Little Drummer Girl.
He's okay at doing comedy where he's kind of making fun of himself, as in Long Shot and True Blood.

I know that Randall Flagg being "the man in black" doesn't mean he is black, but I did feel like it was at best ambiguous in the book, or if he was white he was darker skinned. I could be forgetting something that contradicts this though. Apparently he was originally based on Patty Hearst's kidnapper, who was black (something I just learned myself a second ago). Just an interesting thing to think about with the news of this casting, since I remember thinking about it a lot when I was reading the book, especially with the duality with Mother Abigail. Anyways, I'm excited to see what comes of this adaptation since I love The Stand and have already seen it adapted well in the comic (I never saw the old miniseries).
Also, this is somewhat unrelated, but I think his turn in Big Little Lies was really overrated, and I was kind of surprised at people falling all over themselves for what I took as a pretty typical performance of a horrible abusive husband.

Reading the book for the first time right now. Excited to see if this is any good. Twilight Zone was meh.
I swear this is the third time. Upon checking imdb, it seems to be the second.
He needs to keep the hair like he has in "On Becoming a God in Central Flordia."
Yep, it's the service that they put Star Trek Discovery on to try and push people to subscribe.

I mean, Chernobyl is close enough to the genre to be retcon within King's universe.
Godspeed. I read it last year. Took a long while but it was worth it. You get the newer version where King added a bunch and made it >1000 pages?
Can't wait for him to lower his face, look up and then whisper menacingly like in True Blood, Big Little Lies and Tarzan.
That's the 1 i read. Originally also got from library but it hurt after awhile to hold up while reading so i ended up getting the kindle version.
Technically flag can be any color, through the stand he was more a whiteish though probably like me where even in deep winter I look like I have a tan. However in the epilogue he is explicitly brown.
