* DoingItForTheArt: All of the extra money and work that went into making the Winklevoss twins identical to each other. Using CGI to painstakingly replace one actor's face with another's in every one of his scenes would be expected in, say, a big-budget science-fiction movie. But in a {{biopic}} about the founding of {{Facebook}}? [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality It's unlikely that anyone would have complained (or noticed) if the actors playing the Winklevosses hadn't been completely identical, or if Fincher had just cast actual twins that weren't the spitting images of the real guys, but Fincher went the extra mile to add another layer of realism to the movie that nobody really expected.

* DawsonCasting:
** Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield were both 26 at the time of filming, playing 19-year-old Zuckerberg and 21-year-old Saverin respectively; though they also play the characters a couple years down the line (2007?) in the FramingDevice.
** Peter Thiel, around 37 at the time he made the angel investment in Facebook, is played by Wallace Langham, who was 44 or 45 at the time of shooting.

* DyeingForYourArt: Justin Timberlake lost 20 pounds in order to look younger, Max Minghella tanned his skin [[FakeNationality to play an Indian-American]], and Josh Pence and Armie Hammer (the Winkelvi) were sent off to a sort of boot camp in order to train as rowers and learn each other's physical mannerisms.
* FakeNationality:
** American-born and UK citizen Andrew Garfield playing Brazilian-born Eduardo Saverin.
** Indian American Divya Narendra was played by English actor Max Minghella, who is of Italian, Scottish, and Chinese descent, not without [[{{RaceLift}} minor controversy]]. The DVDCommentary with the cast stated that Minghella was artificially tanned for the role, which lead to a hilarous moment when Armie Hammer and Josh Pence met the real Divya Narendra. They decided to introduce him to Max Minghella and convinced him (as a joke) to speak in a thick SimSimSalabim accent. Upon hearing him, Minghella [[OhCrap turned white]] and spent the next 30 minutes apologizing profusely for his performance.



* PlayingAgainstType:
** Jesse Eisenberg, previously known for playing {{Adorkable}} characters plays an antisocial jerk.
** [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Brenda Song]], previously known for playing Disney Channel {{Asian Airhead}}s, plays a chilling {{Yandere}}.
