After writing Roommates, I quickly came to the realization that Freddie Prinze, Jr. would be the perfect person to play the lead role of Sidney. He more or less is known for his charm and sensitivity, both on and off screen. This works for this particular character in two ways. One, I want him to come across as such. And two, the audience will never expect what is coming.
Shortly thereafter, it dawned on me that Jessica Alba would be great as Amy (Sidney's girlfriend whom you've yet to meet).
I did toy with casting ideas for the rest of the characters, settling on a few but I never wrote down which actor for which part. It's not that important. These are the two that matter :-).
(Oh, and I thought it would be funny if Isaac Hayes played the small part of Train Conductor).
