In his interview, Gere said that the role of George, the protagonist of the picture, was not given to him for a very long time. Richard first saw the script of this film 15 years ago, but the shooting began only after 11 years. In order to experience the whole tragedy, which is going through the main character of the picture, the actor went to an extraordinary step: he dressed in rags and wandered around Manhattan. And only after a case when one woman gave him alms without knowing a famous actor, Richard agreed to the shooting.
