King, Stephen Easter Egg - Stephen King in All of His Movies?

Stephen King has a habit of appearing as an actor, usually a very small part, in every movie that he creates. I have personally seen him in Maximum Overdrive, Pet Cemetary and a few others. Check it out, look hard, he is there.

This isn't true of all movies based on his creations. Three that come to mind right of the bat are The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.

Stephen King also wasn't in the Running Man which he wrote under the pseudonym, Richard Bachman.

To Highhat, the movies you listed were not movies that Stephen King directed, they were merely movies based on his stories. Frank Darabont, for instance, directed both "Shawshank" and "The Green Mile." I'm not sure about "Stand By Me" or "Pet Semetary", but the "Creepshow" movies and "Maximum Overdrive" were King movies.

And he played a Polish guy in 'The Stand'. I think his name was Bobby or Tommy, maybe something similar. He features in the end mainly, when his character is on 'border patrol' with another man and they see the main character and Tom Cullen coming towards them in the snow plough.

Stephen King also played the Band Leader in the remake (and, in my opinion, the ONLY version) of The Shining.

The Creepshow movies were NOT directed by Stephen King. He wrote the screenplay for the first one and the only involvement he had in the second one was one of the segments was based on one of his stories (The Raft) and he had a cameo. That's it.

He's only in the movies he writes the scripts for. Maximum Overdrive as his only shot at directing (notice most of the acting sucks? His fault) so this shouldn't be included in the directors portion...

Stephen King appearing in his movies is not unique. I believe he actually borrowed this tactic from Alfred Hitchcock who would appear in his own movies, too.

I believe King has had a role in every movie he directed, and he does act in a couple of movies that he did not actually direct. Also, if by "the farmer" you mean the farmer and wife who take in Charlie and her dad then King was not the farmer. The farmer is way to old to be King.

Stephen also had a bit part in his ABC mini-series "Storm of the Century". Look for him as a lawyer in Part Two. (personal injury lawyer, I believe)

i believe he was a pharmacist in the absolutely terrible "Thinner" as well.

A friend of mine came into work gnawing on this bone about Stephen King and his movies... He claims that King did show up in Stand BY Me as one of the policemen that collect the body at the end of the movie.. I haven't been able to verify it yet, but it wouldn't surprise me. He said you have to look real hard because it's just for a second. I'm trying to find out if he's in the Green Mile...

Stephen King is in Langoliers.. He is cast as Tom Holby.. Boss of the Creepylooking and obnoxious businessman who had squandered away 8 million dollars (Craig Toomey). In the Stand he's Teddy Weizak (The Guy who gives Nadine a lift,and also who's the Guard that spots Tom and Stu's driving in that Snowmobile)

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think he was in "Apt Pupil" either. By the way, the remake of "The Shining" may not have the "macabre menace" of the original, but it stays true to the book, whereas the original (in my opinion) just took the plot and left out the details that truly made the story. Although, I will admit that the acting left a lot to be desired. Anyway, the remake holds the honor of being the only movie to ever make me shriek out loud.

Sorry QuestionQueen, Stephen King was certainly NOT in IT. I can't even think of a scene (in the movie) with a bartender. You're mistaken. By the way, King typically only cameos in movies for which he's written the screenplay, so there are LOTS where he doesn't, IT included.

Stephen King had two parts in Kingdom Hospital. He was the lawyer in the commercial on the television in the janitors office and of course the janitor Johnny B. Goode.
