Moscow Had to Make Some Changes to His Physical Appearance
To play the younger version of Josh, Moscow told USA Today that he had to dye his hair to better resemble Hanks, and he also had to wear green contact lenses, “which were the most painful thing in the world at that point.”
Jon Lovitz Hurled On-Set
About a week into production, Lovitz got sick and had to bail on the movie. “I worked on it for about a week, and one day I said, ‘Listen, I feel really sick. I think I’m going to throw up,’” Lovitz told the A.V. Club. “She (Marshall) goes, ‘All right, well, try.’ We’re doing a scene, and in the middle, they go, ‘Cut,’ and I ran and threw up. I said to her, ‘I can’t work anymore.’ I was sick as shit. So I went home, and I had the flu bad for about a week. And then I felt better, and I thought, ‘Maybe I should call her up and tell her I’m feeling better, see if she wants to put me back into the movie.’ But then I thought, ‘Ah, forget it! The part was nothing.’ And then it turns out to be this huge hit, and I’m like, ‘I’m an idiot.’”
