Philip Baker Hall, who worked previously with Pierce Brosnan on the film Live Wire (1992), said he not only likes the name of his Mr. Randy character, it was a chance to play a great "bad guy". Hall said: "I've played a lot of secretaries of defense, judges, bank Presidents, lawyers, and roles like that. So, an opportunity to do what is probably a really, really bad guy, I don't get that chance very often." Unlike other characters he's played, Hall said: "I felt Mr. Randy was an actual, living breathing person. Something about him jumped off the page for me. I was anxious to do it." Pierce Brosnan said: "Mr. Randy is the father figure for Julian. He's got this voice that comes from his feet up and his face shows so much character. Philip is brilliant to work with in a scene." Hall believes his character followed a similar path as Julian. Hall said: "They can't have normal relationships really, so it seems natural that the men who are in this together, see each other as family. I think over the years a father-son relationship has developed between them. He once was the hitman, like Julian, and moved up to his present level."
