David Naughton's agent sent him to meet with director John Landis, and that's really all it took. Normally, an actor goes through a screen test but it was really won just by an interview. Landis was looking to cast "the two boys", as he called them. So, Naughton got a chance to talk to him, describing him as a 'very funny, animated guy', giving him a script and said "Read this." Naughton didn't know whether it actually clinched the job for him, but he told him how he had lived and studied acting in London, and how he had gone across Great Britain on a bicycle and rode around the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. Landis said, 'Hey, that's really interesting because these guys are backpacking!' Naughton read the script, and there were a few sentences that said 'David turns into a werewolf and a transformation takes place.' And Naughton thought, 'Hmm, I wonder what that's going to be like?'" Naughton added: "Overall, it was an amazing script, and when I talked to him the next day he said, 'Do you want to be a werewolf?' That's it, that's how easy it was."
