I bet it was Rockwell’s part. Rockwell is married to Leslie Bibb who played Kate. It would have been easy for him to fill in if he was already in Thailand with her.
Mike White was on Howard Stern yesterday and confirmed that Woody was going to have Sam Rockwell’s part. But there were shooting and weather delays in the production, which ran up against a big destination birthday trip for Woody’s family and friends. Woody had to back out.
Leslie Bibb said on WWHL that Rockwell was shooting something in South Africa and came to Thailand to fill in for the role. So they were not actually together in person. But Rockwell made it work with his schedule and wrapped up his shooting in a pretty short period of time
