“Ellen was perfect for this character because we needed someone who looked like this sweet little grandmother, but could turn on a dime and blurt out the most profane, inappropriate comments,” says producer Andrew Panay.
Rounding out the stellar cast of Wedding Crashers are Ron Canada as the Clearys’ longtime, pot-smoking, Jamaican butler Randolph; Henry Gibson as the family priest Father Gibson; Carson Elrod and Josh Wheeler as the conniving Cleary family friends Flip and Kip; Jenny Alden as Christina Cleary; and Geoff Stults as her new husband Craig.
“Properly casting a film is 90% of the battle,” says producer Peter Abrams. “We were also incredibly fortunate to have people like Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, Bradley Cooper and Henry Gibson - who are all great actors in their own right - to play supporting roles because it elevates the film to another level.”
Andrew Panay adds, “It wasn't just about who was great, but it was also about what combinations of actors worked together and how it affected the specific look of the film we wanted.”
