* Greg gives a lot of credibility to the idea that ''The Room'' is Tommy's distorted autobiography, serving as both an idealized version of how Tommy sees himself and how he wishes his life really was: a good, successful man with many friends and has the perfect life until the two people closest to him betray him for no reason, which drives him to suicide. During Tommy's disappearance, Greg had serious concerns about Tommy's mental health and was worried that he might be suicidal. Instead, he came back with the screenplay. It's not too hard to interpret ''The Room'' as an outlet for Tommy to essentially writing out his issues, complete with the satisfaction of people mourning his loss and regretting the way they treated him, instead of ''actually'' killing himself. Terrible as it is, ''The Room'' might have literally saved Tommy's life in his darkest hour.

** Connected to the above, during the terrifying drive that Tommy had with Greg and he being falsely accused of betraying/badmouthing him after unwiitingly revealing to a friend things about him that were off-limits, Tommy then told him that whatever feelings of trust and friendship he had for him had gone away. As Greg was getting out of the car, his words actually made him cry, not just because of how he was being abandoned by a friend due to a misunderstanding and that his possible dreams of being an actor were dashed, but he had to realize that ''[[IWarnedYou his mother was right about Hollywood and acting all along.]]'' Even as [[ManipulativeBastard Tommy]] almost immediately forgave him and insisted that he felt he could trust him and let him back in the car (quite possibly because he saw his tears and realized he'd gone too far), Greg said that he would never look at him the same way again.

* As it happens, the "Leave your stupid comments in your pocket!" scene was such a nightmare for Greg, that he only managed to deliver a usable take of the line by pretending he was talking directly to Tommy and mentally rewriting it thusly: "Why are you doing this to me?"

* Greg's first agent, Judy Schoen, winds up dropping him purely because she wound up getting ahold of Greg's mom... who proceeded to verbally tear her apart. What's worse is that, when Greg confronted her about it, she showed no remorse for doing this; she thought she was doing her son a favor.
