I’ve recently read “The Stand” by Stephen King. And now watching both adaptations, what the fuck with Harold?
First of all as for (1994), Corin Nemec was way too attractive for the role, but nailed the mannerisms. and then we have yet again (2020) Owen Teague way too attractive for the role but nailed the mannerisms.
In the novel, It’s understood harold is an overweight, very unattractive person that Frannie despises. None of this was addressed in either adaptation.
I commend the actors for the roles (they both nailed it) but, it was a critical role, and it wasn’t written well.
