Trivia:
Kirk Lazarus's character was originally written as Irish. It was changed to Australian when Robert Downey, Jr. said it would be easier for him to improvise in the Australian accent that he had already developed for Natural Born Killers (1994).
Nearly all aspects of the Les Grossman character were developed by Tom Cruise himself, including the dancing and the look of the make-up. Stiller said that in addition to the more obvious make-up effects applied to Cruise's face and head, and the extra hair on his chest and arms, Cruise also decided to play the character wearing oversized prosthetic hands.
