• Whitaker reportedly withdrew after delays; whether he was to play Howard’s or Cheadle’s role is disputed. — Bill Simmons
• Ledger was reportedly meant for Phillippe’s role and would improve it, though the character still needs a transitional scene.
• Cusack reportedly withdrew from Dillon’s role; the discussion sees this as a potentially major improvement because the role would be unusual for him.
• Josh Hartnett is suggested for the young cop.

• The film came out in 1999; according to IMDb, Larissa Olenek (as transcribed) wanted to play Kat and Julia Stiles wanted to play Bianca, and a casting director swapped them, with the caveat that IMDb's sourcing is looser than Wikipedia's and the 'I wanted that role but got this one' story is a common film narrative.
• Patrick Verona, Heath Ledger's first American movie role, was also desired by Ashton Kutcher and Josh Hartnett; Hartnett is dark enough to have done it, while Kutcher would have made it a different movie.
