Alan Arkin turned down the film twice because he thought Aaronow was a stupid, inherently unlikable character. Upon reconsideration, Arkin created a backstory for Aaronow; he hadn't been a salesman very long, he was a teacher by trade, but the school in which he worked was shut down, and he needed to support his family. Arkin says that he played Aaronow as an innocent, rather that his usual stage depiction as a weak-willed bumbler.
