While I never pictured Lloyd looking as handsome as Wolff, I have faith that the actor will be able to deliver something special with his performance. He’s too young, yes, and too good-looking too and I know many had their hearts set on an actor like Walton Goggins to take on the part. But it is what it is. All things considered, Wolff is a talented young performer and this is a role that needs an actor who will really sink their teeth into it.

Boone obviously has faith in the actor because he’s worked with him before in The Fault in our Stars. In fact, back when Josh Boone was initially attached to a Stand adaptation, the rumor was that Wolff would star as one of the heroes, Nick Andros. So it’s no surprise that Wolff has come on board with the series, though the character he’s playing is definitely a bit of a shock.

So Lloyd will be better looking and younger than any of us ever imagined. But that doesn’t mean he won’t still be a fascinating and deep character. Wolff just might kill it, even if he isn’t the type of person we had in mind for the part. Oh well, it’s not the end of the world.
