The Firm (film)/Trivia

• Hey, It's That Guy!: You won't be the first or last person to realize that Jigsaw was a contract killer before he decided to put his plans in motion.
• Playing Against Type: Wilfred Brimley (who was known for his good-natured grandfather-like roles) plays Devasher, the firm's ruthless head of security who will kill anyone who tries to escape.
• What Could Have Been: Avery was a woman in the original novel, and (had director Sydney Pollack had his way) would have been the one who seduced Mitch, and would be played by Meryl Streep.
