* DarkhorseCasting: Dominic Sessa, who had never acted on camera before this film, was attending one of the schools being used as the location for Barton when he auditioned for the role of Angus. Paul Giamatti even had to lobby for him after Alexander Payne was concerned about his lack of on-camera experience.
* DyeingForYourArt:
** Hunham has a lazy eye, while Paul Giamatti does not, so to achieve this he wore one contact lens that made it difficult for him to see.
** Da'Vine Joy Randolph decided to smoke real cigarettes, since she felt the fake ones looked unrealistic.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Dominic Sessa plays a character who falls while ice skating. He had been a hockey player and found it difficult to fall on command.

* UnderageCasting: Hunham is meant to be older than the school principal, as he's said to have been a former student of his. There is only two years between Paul Giamatti and Andrew Garman.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The first concept was for a television pilot called ''Stonehaven'' and set in the modern day. Alexander Payne suggested a period piece in either 1958 or 1970, and they went with the latter to avoid seeming too similar to ''Film/DeadPoetsSociety''.
** They also considered shooting on film to properly make it look like a 1970s film, but digital was decided to be more practical.
** Angus was written to be a 15-year-old freshman, but Dominic Sessa convinced Alexander Payne to make him a junior instead, feeling at 18 he looked too old to play 15.
