“I didn’t know Fred could write this well, I didn’t know he could direct as well, and he blew my mind,” John told 11 Alive. “He knew this guy Moose that’s actually loosely based on a real guy and he wrote it with me in mind. He just knew I could portray this guy.”

John Travolta said that Fred would ask him questions about his character to prep him for his role behind the scenes.

“He would ask me questions about Moose. ‘How are you doing today, Moose? Did you run into anybody? What do you think of so-and-so?’ And he would ask me two or three minutes of improvisation and I feel it and, bam, we start filming,” John explained.
