Fan CastingThe Ring (2002)

Description of Drake Rosenberg:

A doctor and Clay's friend whom he enlists to help him solve the riddle of the tape. Being of an odd mental disposition and also something of a genius, Drake usually stated that the purpose of his life is to gaze at the end of humanity. Drake also claims to be a molester, although whether these claims are true or not is unclear, as it may be a hoax used to befriend the quiet Clay. He was actually a lonely person who struggled to live peacefully within society.
