Some of his hair is gray or white, but some remains black. His facial features are described as rough (although Susannah once compared them to that of a tired poet; Eddie frequently refers to him as “old long tall and ugly”), and he has light blue eyes, often referred to by characters and Stephen King as “bombardier’s eyes.” Roland lost his right big toe and his right index and middle fingers, which is problematic as he is right-handed in everything other than shooting. He is a strong and disciplined man, capable of working through injuries and illnesses that would have killed or incapacitated another man. Roland is also unusually tall; at 14, he stood taller than the 16-year-old Susan, and, as an adult, his height exceeds that of his father. In The Dark Tower he is described as having reached an adult height of roughly 6’3″.
They did not get Eastwood to play the role in the upcoming film adaptation.

Sorry Mr. King, you’ve torpedoed your own movie here. Better luck with the remake.
The gunslinger books were all full of ridiculous token characters such as the black disabled woman gunslinger. The last book I read only women could defeat the army of invading wolf/robots by throwing plates at their heads.
