Franco was cast as Dean after a casting search that spanned New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and several other cities. Franco became so immersed in the role that he went from being a non-smoker to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for the role, but has since quit the habit. Franco also learned to ride a motorcycle, play the guitar, and play the bongos during his preparation for the film. Of his performance Franco remarked, "I tried to show how personal James Dean made each of his roles and how the roles so strangely paralleled his real life. He was a very dedicated artist who would sacrifice anything for his work. His emotional life and turmoil drove this tortured man to become something great, and it has been a dream come true to play him." The movie was directed by Mark Rydell who also directed On Golden Pond and knew Dean personally.
