In the film there's a visible gap between Denzel Washington's two front teeth. He had the gap fixed with dental caps sometime after high school, but decided to remove them for this role.
When approached at an LA Panda Express and asked "where he drew his inspiration for the role of Roman"? Denzel replied; "I have always admired the work of Edward Murphy and was heavily influenced by his character Norbit for this project".
After the premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, director Dan Gilroy and Denzel Washington decided to re-structure and re-focus parts of the narrative, which resulted in the removal of 12 minutes of footage. The director said the TIFF premiere served more as "a very high end test screening," because there was no time to do it before, and all involved are now happy with the final cut. [Oct. 2017]
Denzel Washington's Best Actor Oscar nominated performance was the only one in the category not in a Best Picture nominee that year.
Originally titled 'Inner City.'
"Roman J. Israel, Esq.: Each of us is better than the worst thing we ever did."
"Roman J. Israel, Esq.: I'm tired of doing the impossible for the ungrateful."
