~ Roger berating Craig about his grades.
Roger Toomey was Craig Toomey's father and the overarching antagonist in The Langoliers miniseries.
He was portrayed by John Griesemer.
Biography[]
In a flashback, it is revealed that Craig was abused as a child by his overbearing and sadistic father. When Craig failed to make straight A's, his father warned him about the Langoliers, creatures that chased down the lazy and devoured them. Craig is desperate to reach his appointment in Boston.
Over the course of the miniseries, Roger, who has been revealed to also have been caught by the langoliers, kept appearing to Craig in hallucinations, saying that time was running out and that he needed to get to Boston. When the plane was refueled, Craig hallucinated that the board of directors were on the runway. Now completely insane, he told them that he costed them 40 million dollars. His boss then transformed into his father, and Craig became aware that the Langoliers had arrived. He ran in terror until they devoured him.
