While Green Book focuses on Tony Lip and Don Shirley, one should not forget the two other members of the Don Shirley Trio, George, the double bassist, and Oleg, the cellist. Peter Farrelly has sought out both musicians who knew how to play comedy and actors capable of playing instruments. He finally chose veteran actors, musicians in their spare time: Mike Hatton plays the double bass while Dimiter D. Marinov plays the violin for fifteen years. Though he had not played a cello before, he worked day and night with a teacher, with only five days of preparation. Once engaged, production paid for his lessons. In the space of a month he mastered the six pieces played in the film.
