Jackie Earle Haley appears as the Catholic priest, Father Huber, who is called in to administer last rites to President John F. Kennedy in the midst of the chaotic, blood-splattered operating room. Writer-director Peter Landesman said: "Jackie Earle Haley created a performance in just two days that was majestic. He walked cold into a room full of blood with actors who had been there for weeks and really delivered. Like everybody who touched this movie, he added something unique." Father Huber happened to be at the closest Catholic church to Parkland and instinctively headed for the hospital, knowing the importance of Kennedy's faith and his significance to the Catholic community at large. Haley said: "At first glance, it seemed like a small role. But it was also very intriguing, both in the way Peter described the character and how he wanted to shoot it. It became even more fascinating as I understood the critical nature of his actions for any Catholic."
