Marsden explained that Steven Soderbergh, the director of the movie had offered him a role as a male stripper in the movie, but James was bit hesitant on that part and the role ultimately passed on to another actor.

"Soderbergh is one of my favorites, But I didn't know if I trusted myself to be good enough in this to not have my two dozen lines end up on the editing-room floor. I'd look like a naked extra in this movie," said Marsden.

"It's perfect the way it worked out, but that's one of the only ones I'm like, Hmm. I didn't know it was gonna be the massive success that it was," he added.
