At least 15 leading male Hollywood actors turned down the lead role of Zack in this film. They included Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Tom Berenger, Peter Strauss, and William Hurt, the latter of whom would, within three years, play a gay role in Il bacio della donna ragno (1985) and win a Best Actor Oscar for it. They all expressed reservations about the subject matter.
