| 2 | * AwesomeDearBoy: According to Creator/MattDamon, the conversation about him taking the role as Scott Thorson went more or less as follows: |
| 3 | -->'''Agent''': Do you want to get paid for a front-row seat to Creator/MichaelDouglas doing Music/{{Liberace}}? |
| 4 | -->'''Damon''': YES. |
| 5 | * DawsonCasting: Scott Thorson was 17 when he first met Liberace. Matt Damon was in his early 40s. |
| 6 | * DevelopmentHell: Soderbergh first approached Creator/MichaelDouglas to play Liberace when they were filming ''Film/Traffic2000'' in 2000. The movie was supposed to begin filming in 2008, but had to be postponed due to Douglas's fight with throat cancer. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Before Soderbergh became attached to the project, Creator/RobinWilliams was considered for the role of Liberace. |
| 8 | * WordOfGay: In a roundabout way. In real life, Liberace [[ArmoredClosetGay fervently denied that he was homosexual]], and got into lawsuits over allegations of such, but those in close circles [[TransparentCloset weren't at all fooled]]. |
