An entire subplot involving Laine Hanson's father, Oscar Billings (Philip Baker Hall) was dropped in post-production. In it, the character was given more depth and portrayed as a corrupt former Governor, who used his influence and money to help his daughter get a Senate seat (without her knowledge). This information leaks, and Oscar, guilt-ridden, kills himself out of shame. Rod Lurie cut this out because of time, and because he felt the audience would have a hard time believing the Senator could beat these nepotism charges and get confirmed.
