Hayes Tossed the Script
Before agreeing to play Jack McFarland, Sean Hayes had thrown away the script when it was first pitched to him. After seeing his performance in “Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss,” casting directors were determined to reel in the actor who at first tossed the opportunity because he didn’t want to pay for a plane ticket to audition. Eventually Hayes broke down and auditioned and the rest is “Just Jack.” In an interview with Entertainment Magazine, executive producer Matt Mutchnick revealed during his audition, Hayes “exhibited Jack’s signature sass as he left by barking ‘Stop looking at my a**, Mutchnick.”
