In response to an audience question at the Rome (Georgia) International Film Festival, Burt Reynolds said that the role of Vic Edwards was the most "honest" he had or would ever play.
Adam Rifkin has said that if Burt Reynolds turned the role of Vic Edwards down, he would not have made the movie.
When Vic is asked about why he went from Marlon Brando style character-studies to 'actioney' pictures, he says, "I turned down Serpico for Johnny Speedway." Al Pacino was in Serpico in 1973, the same year Burt was in what many (including himself) consider his last great character-driven film with serious acting, Deliverance, although it does involve a lot of action.
Writer and Director Adam Rifkin has said he wrote the part of Vic specifically for Burt Reynolds.
Vic Edwards wife, Claudia Schulman is played by Kathleen Nolan. She also appears as a co-star with Vic in a scene shown near the end of the film festival. The film festival scene was taken from a real episode of Gunsmoke, Gunsmoke: Comanches Is Soft (1964) featuring both Kathleen Nolan and Burt Reynolds.
"Vic Edwards: You wanna know I needed to come to knoxville, I needed to say goodbye, Goodbye to the town that made me who Iam, Goodbye to the trees I climbed as a kid, Goodbye to the school that tought me how to break the rules, and the streets I wondered late at night, the hidden places that I left all my secrets, The town where I made so many many mistakes, and now its time for one last goodbye."
"Lil McDougal: Why can't you just live in the present, and stop looking in the rearview mirror? All I ever hear from you is I was rich, I was famous. I was this, I was that. How about you are? Vic Edwards: It's easier said than done. Especially when you brother's little film festival shines such a spotlight on where I was, compared to how far down I've come. Lil McDougal: It's not Doug's fault that you're not happy. Vic Edwards: Okay, doctor Freud."
