Mark Mahoney was cast as Mickey Maloney on the strength of his performance in Blood Ties - La legge del sangue (2013), without reading or auditioning for the role. According to executive producer James Packer, the Venice Beach tattoo artist, scenester, and owner of the Shamrock Social Club was "audacious, to say the least", requesting a very high salary for his relatively minor role. Scott Cooper insisted on hammering out an agreement with Mahoney, partly because of frustration with constant difficulties securing key cast members, and partly because "the amount of money he demanded, and the manner in which he demanded it, was in some ways the best audition I've ever seen! It reminded me why I wanted him for the part in the first place!" In his downtime during shooting, Mahoney would put a shamrock tattoo on any member of the cast and crew who wanted one.
