Donald Uris || 💍

In the novel, Stan's family is Jewish but they do not follow the practice very strictly (Stan did not even know what it meant to be kosher), attending the synagogue in Bangor only for high holidays like Yom Kippur. However, in the 2017 film, his father is a Rabbi. He appears to have a close relationship with his parents, although they seem to put a lot of pressure on him. Bill and Eddie state that it is typical for Jews to "have big noses and a lot of money", but that Stan "had a normal nose and never seemed to have enough money."

Stanley "Stan" Uris was one of the two overarching protagonists of the Stephen King multiverse. In the novel, Stanley is described as fastidious, wears formal clothes and has black hair. In the 1990 mini-series, his appearance is the same as the novel. In the film adaptation, he has curly light brown hair and still has the fastidious mannerisms the original Stanley Uris has.
Stan was one of the only Jewish kids in the school, something which resulted in severe torment from Henry Bowers and his gang. Not only do the bullies berate Stan about his religion, but Richie constantly jokes and makes fun of it as well. Stan was a very methodical and mature child, particularly about always keeping clean and (in the 2017 Film) suffers from OCD. He is also the most skeptical and fearful of It, not being able to accept the happenings around him at first and terrified to believe that It is real. He has a very set way of approaching life, so the appearance of It in his life turns everything around and confuses and terrifies him. In the book, he is shown as having a strange sense of humor, telling jokes that the losers don’t understand, because he has an odd knowledge about the world. He is described as being in the grade lower than the other losers (the 4th grade.)

Stan's favorite hobby is bird watching. He can often be seen with his bird book (something that is later used to fight against It).

As a child, he was good friends with Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, Mike Hanlon and Beverly Marsh. He was said to “chum with” Bill, Richie, and Eddie on occasion, but he first joined the Losers' Club at the same time Richie did, helping Bill, Eddie, and Ben build the dam in the Barrens.

Donald Uris is the father of Stan Uris and husband of Andrea James Uris. He was a minor character in the novel, 2017 adaptation and the series IT: Welcome to Derry. In the 2017 movie, Donald is played by Ari Cohen. Donald is revealed as a Rabbi and is shown to be firm toward Stan about practicing and studying his religion. Little else is known about him. It has been suggested that he appeared as an illusion in the Painted Lady scene, but this is pure speculation. In the book, Donald has a loving, longstanding relationship with Andrea Uris, who he married in his early twenties, and is shown to be an attentive father who worries about his son's future. Overly so, in fact, but unlike Patty's parents, the Uris' aren't cruel about demonstrating their concern like the Blums.
