Matthew Perrys role cut?


Does anyone know why Matthew Perrys role got cut from the movie? I mean, it seemed like a big deal when they signed him on to the movie - but nobody, not even the tabloide press, noticed that he suddenly is missing from the official lineup?

I was wondering the same thing.

I think it's just a one scene small part. He's not in the main cast.

I hope so - but I have searched everywhere for more knowledge about it. On Imdb, he is not listed in the cast, nor among the uncredited. His own imdb-page also says nothing about participating in the film. in my eyes it must be because he is not in the movie. And it amazes me a lot, i mean - he is another star that could be put on the poster? So what happened? :-)

He was def in the picture, there was set photos of him

So either it was cut or it's a super small part. Anyone who saw the film can confirm this?

reply

Exactly. I also saw the pictures of Matthew Perry at the filming location a year ago - and was delighted to see him record with Jonah Hill. He was also in the cast list of Imdb a few months ago, but suddenly he disappeared from there. Since then I have not seen him mentioned in Imdb, but still many other places ..

I'm also pretty sure they silently removed his part from the film, I just can't imagine why.

reply

Maybe he was fired.

reply

Unless he was heavily disguised, his part must have been cut. I am pretty sure I would have noticed him, even if it was a very small part.

reply

Yeah I think I would have noticed him too if he was in it, dude got cut out of it. I wonder why.

I noticed the kid rock look-a-like in the 1st post credits scene, ha

He was supposed to be in a political rally scene. I don't know if there was one. I haven't seen the film.

Who?

It seems like they edited out a lot of scenes. A couple times in the film they jump to a new idea without building up to it first. Probably MP was in such a scene.
