Whitney Horgan is a supporting antagonist of the Stephen King novel and miniseries, The Stand.
In the miniseries, Horgan is portrayed by Sam Anderson.
History[]
An ex-marine butcher, Horgan joined Randall Flagg's group as a cook, described by Flagg's minion Lloyd Henreid as a "fat, loud sack of sh-t" but also an excellent chef. He performs lesser tasks but is highly ranked in Flagg's society, reporting directly to Henreid or Flagg himself.
Whitney plans to flee to Brazil with many others after brokenly saying "it's...all gone bad here", after first asking a reluctant Henreid to join them (Henreid ultimately refuses the offer, but quietly tells his friend he will keep his flight plan secret, while adding he will never leave Flagg regardless of consequences), Horgan decides to take a "stand" against Flagg and publicly challenges him prior to the executions of Underwood and Brentner.
Flagg initially says to Horgan that he has intended to let him leave without punishment, but then mutilates and eventually kills Whitney with a bolt of lightning that emanates from his finger. However, Whitney's death is portrayed as meaningful by the author, as the lightning that killed him gathers in the sky over the next few moments before descending as the Hand of God and activating the Trashcan Man's nuclear bomb.
