Say Anything connection?


In the scene on the train when John Cusack cons the sailors, at least 2 of them (Jeremy Piven, don't know the other one's name) also had bit parts in Say Anything. Other than possibly being friends of Cusack, does any one know another reason they'd be in this movie too?

Aren't Jeremy Piven and John Cusack close friends (I may be mistaken but I believe Piven used to perform in Cusack's family's theatre company in Chicago)? Piven also appeared in 'One Crazy Summer', 'The Player', 'Bob Roberts', 'Twenty Bucks', 'Grosse Pointe Blank', 'Serendipity', and 'The Runaway Jury' alongside Cusack.

Yeah, as the guy above me posted, John and Jeremy aren't just close friends, they're best friends, and John is always throwing Jeremy a bone to let him appear in A LOT of his pictures.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

LOL I thought you were going to say there's a 'boombox box' in the closet at 1hr33m of the movie! I thought *that* was a possible ode to Say Anything!
