You just blew my mind with this perfect choice. He would absolutely be able to pull this off. The way the man has done such dynamic characters amazes me. I'm still in awe that Vladislav the Poker is one of the dorky dudes in Flight Of The Concords (and flipping Tamatoa!). I can't think of him doing an American accent right now, but... I believe in him.
I love him as the Crab in Moana too. Im sure he can pull off a NE American accent, I just haven’t seen him in anything where he didn’t use something similar to his NZ accent.
Hello. Here I sit on a Saturday night, watching Concords, and up comes Jemaine with a low buttoned v neck, rocking the super fuzzy chest, and it immediately reminded me of King
Hader would be perfect not just because of his looks, but because SK is a genuinely funny guy IRL. Plus Hader has the acting chops to capture the darker parts of SK’s life.
Just give me a five minute scene of him snorting insane amounts of coke and ranting about The Beam and The Tower. He doesn't even need to nail the character if I get that.
My fan cast:
Bill Hader- young Stephen king
Rainn Wilson- old king
Jackson Robert Scott as kid Stephen king
Finn wolfhard or jaden martell as teen Stephen king
Zac Efron. Doesn't look like him at all BUT he's "Hollywood handsome," and he can actually act. I think they could do some makeup magic on him that would work. Looks wise though I agree with others saying Bill Hader and Jemaine Clement. It all depends on what kind of budget and style they decide to go with.
Looks wise, Bill Hader for sure.
Or whoever played Dahmer in that Netflix show.
