Amazon has now cast the series’ two most important characters, the Gunslinger and the Man in Black. Sam Strike who stars in NBC’s “Timeless” and played Jackson in Leatherface, will be playing the role of the Gunslinger aka Roland Deschain.

John Borowski is well known for his documentary films, which give an in-depth look at various serial killers. Not only has Borowski focused on the likes of Carl Panzram, Albert Fish and H.H.
