Seeing King playing a pizza delivery man in "Rose Red" made me think what future roles I'd like to see him play. Mine are kindergarten school teacher, Radio Shack salesperson, drag racing commentator, Jehovah's Witness at the front door with The Watchtower, Home Shopping Club comic book salesman, and Vulcan philosopher. What about yours?
Follow Ups:
My favorite Hitchcock cameo was as a "floater", a dead body floating out from under a bridge on the Thames. I think it was in "Family Plot".I'm sure a lot of people would like to see Steven King as a dead body.
I think he should appear in a really bad rock band, in the background of a scene set in a cheesy local lounge. There should be no patrons who actually came to see the band, only a few who wanted to get a drink or sign a pact with the devil.
Or maybe as the driver of a bus that goes off a cliff, full of seniors going to a casino.
Well, he was almost road kill, for real.
I would like to see him as the hospital roommate of one of the main characters. He could be all wrapped up in bandages and in traction. When his roommate's visitor asks, "What happened to HIM?", the reply would be,"He got run over by a minivan."
How about the guest of honor at his own retirement party. Then we won't have to put up with his hack work again.
I'm sure he doesn't write anything anyway; the Novels are all hack "ghost" written and the Publishers just print his name on the dust jackets so you'll pick one of "his" novels up at the Airport bookstore before your boring 10 hour flight.
The vocabularly usage and sentence structures are a dead giveaway; despite the Editors best attempts to disguise the fact; it's just not the same writer each time. Oldest literary trick in the Book (pardon the play on words).
Like new titles keep appearing from L.Ron Hubbard, Robert Heinlein, and Louis Lamour, even though they are all long-dead.I'm still waiting for the new work by Poe, who died in 1849.
Sure, IMO, the latest SK books have not been of the caliber of his earlier works but is there any proof that he isn’t writing anymore?Godzilla
