Trivia:Alec Baldwinclaimsthat he lost out onPatriot Gamesbecause Paramount owed another actor (probablyHarrison Ford) money:
The run of events in 1991 went like this. John McTiernan, who directed The Hunt For Red October, called me repeatedly over a period of a few days and that got my attention because John was not someone who did that. I knew it must be something important. I had been traveling to Syracuse to see my mother who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I had lost my dad in 1983 to lung cancer when he was fifty-five and the idea of being an orphan, technically speaking, at the age of 33 weighed heavily on me. It took a few rounds before John and I connected. On the phone, John told me that during the period of the previous few months, he had been negotiating to do a film with a very famous movie star who had dropped out of his film days before so that he could go star in the sequels to The Hunt For Red October. John further told me that Paramount owed the actor a large sum of money for a greenlit film that fell apart prior to this, and pushing me aside would help to alleviate that debt and put someone with much greater strength at the box office than mine in the role. I sat there mildly stunned because not only was I in an active negotiation with Paramount, but for them to negotiate simultaneously with another actor was against the law. My mother was about to have a double mastectomy. I asked John if he was sure about all of this and he said yes, he had talked with the famous actor directly who confirmed the story. All of this served to explain why the studio would not close my deal over what I thought were some relatively arbitrary issues surrounding the dates of production.

Trivia:Todd PhillipsactuallyauditionedZach GalifianakisforRoad Trip: “Zach came in and read for ‘Road Trip’ before Tom [Green] signed on. I’ve known Zach forever and I’ve always thought this guy is super. Zach always tells a funny story that on ‘Road Trip’ when he came in to meet me I said that I don’t shake hands and I had a cold. Now that he knows me he knows I was lying but I just don’t like to touch a lot of people but that he knew that and I was a total asshole but you meet a million people when you’re doing casting. They’re always sweating because they’re nervous but Zach was always the guy I had in the back of my head and thought he was great.”
