Tom Hanks was the first choice to play Josh Baskin, but was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with "La retata (1987)" and "L'ultima battuta (1988)." Robert De Niro was then offered the lead role, and the writers began to retool the script for a more urban 13 year old, but he was rejected because his $6 million salary demand was too high. Hanks then became available and accepted it for $2 million. David Moscow originally auditioned not for young Josh, but for Billy, since he didn't look like De Niro. When Hanks was given the role, Moscow was brought back in to audition for young Josh.
