I did have a hard time not picturing Jack Nicholson, Louis Fletcher, and Will Sampson while I was reading it, but I didn't find it particularly troubling. I think their performances in the movie did a truly excellent job of inhabiting the characters from the book pretty much as written, so for me, picturing the actors simply made the characters more vivid as I read the book. Also, it was so very many years ago that I saw the movie, that my memory of it was pretty foggy anyway. I was able to fully enter into the story with no problem.
