* AwesomeDearBoy: Lee Toland Kreeger found Anthony Ingruber online doing a Creator/HarrisonFord impression on Website/YouTube and, upon hearing that he's also an actor, called him up to ask him "how would you like to play your idol and make out with Creator/BlakeLively?" Some fans have called for him to star as a young Franchise/IndianaJones and [[Franchise/StarWars Han Solo]] in future films. Unfortunately, it’s an unwritten rule in Hollywood that you "never cast an imitator," so it will most likely never happen.
