According to Lawrence Schiller, Debra Winger was strongly favored for Nicole Baker, but was turned down after being considered "too urban" for the role. Tatum O'Neal also read for the role.
The character of Larry Samuels, played by Steven Keats, was based on the film's producer/director, Lawrence Schiller.
Rosanna Arquette said she was unhappy with the film's nude scene, remarking in an interview that the idea of the general public seeing her naked made her feel uncomfortable and exploited, and that most of the offers she received after demanded that she also get naked.
The part of "Prison Guard #4", portrayed by Deputy Warden David Franchina, was originally supposed to be played by John Robert Mallernee, who was a Correctional Supervisor. However, due to the snowstorm, filming was behind schedule, so John Robert Mallernee had to go on duty, and can be seen at the window of the watchtower (Tower #2) when Gary Mark Gilmore, portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones is being taken to the vehicle that will transport him to his execution. Even though he did not actually perform the role of "Prison Guard #4", because John Robert Mallernee had been signed to a contract, he still received a royalty check, and subsequent residual checks. John Robert Mallernee, an amateur singer/songwriter and disabled war veteran, is a resident in the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Actress Debra Winger was strongly considered for the role of Nicole Baker that eventually went to Rosanna Arquette. Had Winger taken the role, she and actress Grace Zabriskie would have been reunited as a mother and daughter once again since that same year they had played mother and daughter in the movie "An Officer and a Gentleman".
"Gary Mark Gilmore: Go down on me, partner... I need it Nicole Baker: Don't call me partner. Gary Mark Gilmore: No, darlin'... I love it... I love it Nicole Baker: Yeah, you and seven other motherfuckers."
"Gary Mark Gilmore: Come on baby let's go to bed. April Baker: I can't go to bed with you Gary, I'm way too paranoid right now."
