John Hawkes placed a cushion under one side of his back to achieve the look of Mark O'Brien's distorted spine.
To prepare for his role, John Hawkes read every word written by Mark O'Brien.
Writer-director Ben Lewin is a polio victim himself. He was researching a semi-autobiographical sitcom when he stumbled on the internet on the story of Mark O'Brien and sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Greene.
John Hawkes avoided exercising before and during filming.
Ben Lewin met with several disabled actors but didn't feel any of them were right for the part.
"Mark O'Brien: I believe in a God with a sense of humor. I would find it absolutely intolerable not to be to able blame someone for all this."
"Susan: Would you like me to visit you? Mark O'Brien: Are you married? Susan: No. Mark O'Brien: Do you have a steady boyfriend? Susan: No. Mark O'Brien: Then please visit as often as you can."
