The Blind Side/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Danza: A strange version because Collins is played by an actress whose last name is Collins.
  • Dawson Casting: Quinton Aaron is two years older than the real Michael, despite playing the teen version of him.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!:
    • Miss Sue also has a son that loves foozball.
    • We also see what T-Dog was doing before heading for Atlanta.
  • What Could Have Been: The producers were so intent on casting Julia Roberts as Leigh Anne Tuohy that if they couldn't get her they would either rewrite the film as a father-son story or scrap it altogether. Fortunately, Sandra Bullock was up to the challenge.
  • Write Who You Know: Michael Lewis was initially reluctant to mine his friends' story for a book; he had been close to Sean for many years as a child, though at the time of the book they hadn't seen each other in a quarter-century.
