Here’s Every Stephen King Cameo in a King Adaptation!
“This machine just called me an asshole!”
Countless Stephen King stories have been brought to screens both big and small over the years, with countless more currently on the way, and many of them share one thing in common: cameos from the King himself!
Dating back to 1982’s Creepshow, wherein King played the main character in one of the George Romero-directed segments, King has been making fun appearances in adaptations of his own work for many years now – and now that King adaptations are once again the hottest thing in town, we expect that we haven’t seen the last of those cameos. In fact, it’s already been confirmed that King will pop up in the TV series “Mr. Mercedes,” headed to the AT&T Audience Network on August 9th!
From playing a minister in Pet Sematary to the ghost of a band conductor (whose name happens to be Gage Creed!) in “The Shining” mini-series, we wanted to put together all of Stephen King’s cameos in adaptations of his own work from the early 1980s straight through to the present day.
Find the full list below… with screen-grabs!
Creepshow – Jordy Verrill
Maximum Overdrive – Man at Bank ATM
Creepshow 2 – Truck Driver
Pet Sematary – Minister

Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
