Viggo Mortensen was Peter Farrelly's first choice for the role of Tony Lip. The director sent him the script without really believing he would take the role, the actor being rare in the cinema. Viggo was immediately seduced by the role and the project, he accepted it after a few weeks of hesitation, afraid of not being up to it. He then left Spain where he lives to go to New York where he met the Vallelonga family. He also listened to and watched Tony's recordings made by his son, toured the Bronx and New Jersey, and even watched the entire I Soprano (1999) series.
