Trivia

Steve Buscemi's appears in the film at a pro-gun control reception for Vicky and Ted Kennedy in Boston. He has one line, "I'm very proud of it," referring to being proud of "being on the National Rifle Association's Blacklist". This may be Buscemi's shortest incidental appearance in a film.
