However, Bacon was not impressed with the scene he had been cast in and decided to turn down the part - for the good of the whole movie.
Speaking at the Follow This event at New York's Paley Center for Media on Tuesday (04Jun13), he explained, "It was a lousy part! I was (MCCormack's) father, which I don't mind, but he was just a miserable prick. I honestly think I would have done a disservice to the film... there was no point to me being in the movie...
"They built a scene that was really only there for me to be in the movie, and once I said no, they took the scene out... I liked the movie, though!"
The 2011 film featured Kenny Wormald stepping into Bacon's shoes as the male lead, while Julianne Hough portrayed his love interest, a role previously made famous by Lori Singer.
