  • Johnny Depp reportedly turned down Jack over the script; Jared Leto was reportedly favored but would not audition, and the actress transcribed as Claire Daines was supposedly wanted for Rose.
  • Jeremy Sisto auditioned multiple times and is lamented as never finding the right part; Billy Crudup was considered but was committed to Without Limits.
  • DiCaprio excelled in testing, and Winslet reportedly lobbied hard, telling Cameron to pick DiCaprio even if not her.
  • Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder were reportedly in the mix; Paltrow might have been decent but is judged too regal, and Winslet remains the best choice.
  • The Cal role was reportedly offered to Matthew McConaughey, who turned it down.
  • McConaughey as Cal is judged unworkable; a report that he was also offered Jack is doubted.
  • Cameron reportedly wanted Enya for the music before settling on Celine Dion.
  • Robert De Niro was reportedly offered Captain Smith but declined due to a gastrointestinal infection; he would have been fun in the role.

  • The category is so lively that it is held until after a break.
  • Candidates are Crudup, whose three scenes are a dry run for The Morning Show, Tucci, Jamie Sheridan as Jim the lawyer and Patrick from Hyde Park.
  • Crudup is picked for turning a nothing part into an untrustworthy, dismissive but sincere lawyer until the lobby doorstep.
  • The speaker also goes with Crudup, calling him the most likable guy ever telling you off (not its own category). — Ryen Russillo
  • Mike Greenberg is joked about as the lawyer, teasing answers 'coming up next'.
