So that was smart. And Sasha was blown away because we LAG'd him. I mean, we... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Everybody knows what McLevin is. Yes. Oh. I would say it was the toughest role ever to cast. No kidding. Because it took months and months. Pre-internet, I think we did some sort of a MySpace thing. That was the first big internet thing, right?

Yes. And it turned up nobody. Those are days you still put up flyers in high schools and things like that. Wow. And I knew I wasn't turning up a good geek. You know, I know I can recognize a good geek. And Judd was like, no, no, no, no, no. Michael Cera first came in for McLevin. And then it was apparent he was perfect. That was right after he finished Arrested Development.

So he wasn't a star yet. We still had to read Every Kid in Town to play Seth and Evan. Judd first. only wanted kids who were actually 18 or 19. So at the time, Jonah was a little bit too old. We wanted him to do the table read and no, Judd wanted kids younger. I sort of ignored kids who were older than 19 or 20. And then it did dawn on Judd, wait a minute, Jonah looks like a baby.

Of course he can do this. And then Michael Cera came back and read as Seth. And of course, wait a minute. Or Evan. Or Evan. But McLovin, I wanted to find the Most amazing nerd ever, Greg Mottola did too. And I knew I wasn't turning anybody up. Casting people know when they're not delivering and you had to keep looking. And so we put up flyers in high schools and I still have a copy of my flyer.

It was Attention Nerdy High School Boys. Call this number or fax. Picture to picture to this number. The little head shot of Christopher Mintz-Place came through a bad fax. His forehead was stretched out.

We had sent, and my associate at the time, Delia Frankel, had looked up improv classes in high schools. So we had sent them around to high schools and they were calling us. And I think the way he got was one of his friend's mothers said, there's a flyer for a nerdy high school kid, Christopher. I think you should submit it. So he came in. Judd saw it instantly. Other people did not.

I did, Judd did. The reason I thought he was funny is because part of the scene was he had to name his character McLoving. He said McLoving instead of McLovin. Crack me up just the way he said it.
