Almost all of the actors were cast through open auditions, a rare practice for studio films. There were offers, however, for the role of Valentine McKee to Bill Paxton, Matthew Modine, and Bruce Campbell, among others, before Universal cast Kevin Bacon due to his star power.

Brent Maddock said that while writing the script, he imagined Burt Gummer being played by Chuck Norris or Clint Eastwood.
