A man impersonating Gary Oldman discussed the project with an unsuspecting Danny DeVito for months and even submitted an audition tape to Milos Forman. The real Gary Oldman had passed on the role of Andy Kaufman months earlier, and became aware of the scam after he found his name listed as one of the actors auditioning for the part.
One day during production, a real medic was brought in to evaluate Jim Carrey after he turned up to the set with a bloody nose, claiming Tony Clifton had punched him out backstage.
At one point, the studio wanted to fire director Milos Forman. However, Jim Carrey said that if Forman was fired, he would depart the film as well.
Jim Carrey refused to be called by his real name during the entire production, to get into the part, he insisted on being dealt with as Andy Kaufman at all times, on and off the set.
The core cast of Taxi (1978) played themselves. The only exceptions were Tony Danza, who was doing "A View from the Bridge" on Broadway, and Danny DeVito, who was already playing George Shapiro. When DeVito was asked who would play him if he was playing Shapiro, he suggested that the simplest option was to scratch himself from the cast shown in the movie.
"George Shapiro: Andy, you have to look inside and ask this question: who are you trying to entertain - the audience or yourself?"
"George Shapiro: You're insane, but you might also be brilliant."
