The casting of Mel Gibson, according to Wikipedia, went as follows: "Mel Gibson begged (Mark) Rydell to let him play the Tennessee farmer, who reminded him of his (own) father, but the director was reluctant, because of Gibson's Australian accent. Before Gibson left for England to film Il Bounty (1984), he begged Rydell not to cast the part yet. Rydell recalled, "He came back to my house in Los Angeles, and started reading the script, talking, reading the newspaper, in this perfect Tennessee accent. I was really impressed, even when he stood next to Sissy, who's like a tuning fork when it comes to accents, he had damn well done it."
