Alan Ritchson insisted on performing the fight scenes himself, which are usually performed by professional stuntmen.

Before filming, Alan Ritchson thought he wouldn't have to memorize many lines. He remained under this misconception until the moment he had to describe the case in detail – a four-page monologue in 30 seconds.
