The real Bruce Pandolfini is very different from the character Sir Ben Kingsley plays. Pandolfini is actually a Brooklynite with a mustache, glasses, and curly brown hair, and he is reported to have a very friendly, soft-spoken demeanor. In fact, Pandolfini can be seen in a cameo role in the movie. He is a kibitzer when Kingsley-as-Pandolfini goes to see Josh in Washington Square. Pandolfini tells "Pandolfini" that Josh is a "young Fischer". Josh Waitzkin is quick to point out that the portrayal in this movie is fiction, and should not be confused with reality.
