Quite a bit of the movie was filmed on location in NC (but not at UNC, which turned them away), including the scene at the beginning which supposedly takes place in DC. Local extras were used on some scenes. However, some scenes - especially re-shoots - supposedly taking place in NC were also done elsewhere (Canada). One thing I'm still lamenting to this day is how they mix footage of the Duke and UNC campuses to confuse viewers into thinking they're the same school.

The thing is, after many years of looking over a copy of the film on VHS, I'm fairly certain that the most you see of me in the movie is the back of my head and my right arm during the opening scene. So it's barely even a "cameo". At one point in filming, the camera did pass in front of my face, but as best I can tell, any footage showing me clearly was left on the editing room floor. I was very disappointed (because I was about 11 at the time) that I didn't appear visibly.

But at least I got Morgan Freeman's autograph on a Tar Heel basketball.
