Stephen King's Best Cameo!

I really thought he nailed the pharmacist role here. I could picture him at my local Walgreens or CVS the next time I go there. The way he talks/looks at you like he's trying to be helpful but actually judging you is spot on. Sometimes it feels like he sort of forces himself into roles for his movie adaptations, but this was not the case in Thinner!

I also remember a daytime talk show he was on years ago, trying to promote one of his new books, but the hostess kept asking him about the Harry Potter books instead. He got really annoyed and gave the hostess a similar look to the one that he gave Billy in this movie. Super awkward...
