'Sympathy for Delicious' star Orlando Bloom took on the role of The Stain because of his respect for the film's director Mark Ruffalo. He said, "I read it. I loved it. I thought to be directed by an actor would be a first and would be interesting. And I've always been a huge fan of Mark as an actor and just as a guy. It was everything I hoped it would be." He described his character as "a completely mad, belligerent rock n' roll northern[er]."
