Earl Brooks was written with Kevin Costner in mind to play him.
According to interviews with Kevin Costner, this was supposed to be the first movie in a trilogy.
Kevin Costner thought the script was one of the most perfect scripts he'd ever read and that there were only three other scripts he'd read that made him feel that way. After hearing this, the writers took a day off to celebrate.
Reportedly William Hurt took the role of Marshall because he loved the idea of someone going to an 'Addicts' Anonymous class as a cure for homicidal actions.
The prayer Mr. Brooks repeats throughout the movie is called "Serenity Prayer" written by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. This prayer is in use in Alcoholics Anonymous since the early 1940s. Mr. Brooks visits AA-meetings to curb his morbid addiction.
"[last lines] Marshall: [voice-over] Why do you fight it so hard, Earl? Mr. Earl Brooks: [whispering to himself] God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time and enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is and not as I would have it, trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will, that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen."
"Mr. Earl Brooks: [about Mr. Smith] Maybe I should drive over there and pick him up. Marshall: No, just honk. Maybe he'll get killed crossing the street. Save us the mess of doing it. [Both start laughing. Then, Mr. Brooks honks the horn and Mr. Smith nearly gets hit by a car while crossing] Mr. Earl Brooks: Almost."
