The late great Alan Rickman immediately signed on after Tim Allen spoke to him in person. He was in L.A. for a promo for another movie, and rarely did comedy. Tim Allen said his delivery was excellent and had a fun time on set, except for the make up.
One of the most underrated comedies of all time. That was Sam Rockwell’s earliest roles.
Sam was also ‘Wild Bill’ in “The Green Mile”.
I liked him in Ironman.
