Co-star Tanya Van Graan was voted FHM's sexiest woman in 2007.
The idea for Mad Cow was born at Cannes 2009 where UK writer/director Michael Wright (Dark Side, Boulevard Noir) and South African producer/director Michael J. Rix (Tengers, The Game of My Life) struck the deal with producers Jason Rogan and Doug Marschke to make the one of a kind horror/comedy and bring it back to Cannes 2010 under the banner Funny How Films. "We loved the Mad Cow concept and knew we wanted to do this film. Mad cow is the perfect film for Cannes because, in addition to being wildly entertaining, it reminds us all that underneath the hilariously funny lies something perverted and deranged," said Rogan in an interview. The film was made in less than a year and had its world premiere at Cannes on May 17, 2010.
Michael Wright wrote the first draft of the screenplay in a barn, so as to reflect the point of view of a cow more accurately.
The principle cast went through 'boot camp' at a dairy farm so that they could empathize more easily with the titular character.
