What's left behind the scenes

  • The role of Carolina Wolff Hansen, played by Ellen Barkin, was originally offered to actress Debra Winger.
  • The real name of Toby's brother, who is called Gregory in the film, is Jeffrey. Ten years before Tobias Wolff wrote "This Boy's Life," Jeffrey Wolff also published his memoirs, which focused on his complex relationship with his father.
  • Tobey Maguire auditioned for the lead role in the film, but the director felt he wasn't quite right for it. Leonardo DiCaprio, who ultimately got the part, and Tobey Maguire were already close friends at the time, and at DiCaprio's request, Maguire was given the opportunity to play Toby's friend, Chuck Boldger.
  • During filming, Leonardo DiCaprio noticeably grew taller, and in a number of scenes he had to deliberately hunch over to appear shorter opposite Robert De Niro.
  • On the local cinema, you can see a poster for the 1956 film «The Searchers».
  • When in Concrete, Caroline tries to light a cigarette from Dwight's lighter on the street, it is visible that it doesn't ignite. Later, Caroline smokes the cigarette, although no smoke comes from either the cigarette or her mouth.
  • Toby's brother's real name, who is called Gregory in the film, is Jeffrey. Ten years before Tobias Wolff wrote "This Boy's Life," Jeffrey Wolff also published his memoirs, focusing on his complex relationship with his father.
  • A poster for the 1956 film "The Searchers" can be seen in the local cinema.
