Did you know
• The character of the King was originally written as weighing 250 pounds and owning a boxing gym. When Dustin Hoffman read the script and told the filmmakers that he was interested in the story, but not in playing that kind of character, they rewrote the King to make him a nightclub owner instead.
• For the scene where The King (Dustin Hoffman) meets Jake (played by Edward Burns) and Lily (Rachel Weisz) for the first time, Hoffman and Burns rehearsed the scene extensively. Weisz wasn't included because director James Foley wanted to have her uncomfortable with how the scene might unfold. So, when Hoffman leans over and grabs her by her breast, Weisz's shocked reaction is completely genuine.
• Rachel Weisz won the part of Lily without even having to audition.
