The scattered survivors include would - be rock star Larry Underwood ( Adam Storke ) ; deaf mute Nick Andros ( Rob Lowe ) ; Frannie Goldsmith ( Molly Ringwald ) and her unborn child from Jesse , her boyfriend prior to the plague ; her teenaged neighbor Harold Lauder ( Corin Nemec ) ; imprisoned criminal Lloyd Henreid ( Miguel Ferrer ) ; and `` Trashcan Man '' ( Matt Frewer ) , a mentally ill arsonist and scavenger . The survivors soon begin having visions , either from kindly Mother Abagail ( Ruby Dee ) or from the demonic Randall Flagg ( Jamey Sheridan ) . The two sets of survivors are instructed in dreams to either travel to Nebraska to meet Abagail , or to Las Vegas to join Flagg . </P>
