Several former Los Angeles Rams players have cameo roles in the film, including [[Deacon Jones]], [[Les Josephson]], [[Jack T. Snow]], [[Jim Boeke]], and [[Charley Cowan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CowaCh00.htm |title=Charley Cowan NFL & AFL Football Statistics |website=Pro-Football-Reference.com |date=1938-06-19 |access-date=2010-12-20}}</ref> Some well-known sportscasters also appear, playing familiar roles. [[Curt Gowdy]] and [[Al DeRogatis]] can be heard doing the Super Bowl play-by-play commentary. [[Dick Enberg]] conducts an abortive postgame interview of Joe Pendleton/Tom Jarrett. Beatty lobbied hard for [[Cary Grant]] to accept the role of Mr. Jordan, going so far as to have Grant's ex-wife, Dyan Cannon, who stars as Julia Farnsworth, urge him to take the role. Although Grant was tempted, he ultimately decided not to end his retirement from film-making.
