 Actor Nicolas Young (I) (qv) confessed in the DVD commentary that  he got the role of "John" because he cheated. He was working part  time for his agent at the time and when he saw the breakdowns for  the role of "John" and thought hed be perfect for that role.  Nicolas was responsible for sending over the head shots and resumes  of several actors to be considered the role of John. So, Nicolas  would send 1 head shot and resume of each actor (his competition for  the role he wanted) and 12 of his own head shots and resumes as  well. Although thats in the gray area of ethics
