Hughes suggested to Columbus that they cast Macaulay Culkin in the main role, because of his experience with the child actor while shooting "Uncle Buck". Columbus met with other actors for the part, by his count "hundreds and hundreds" (actually 200), as he felt it was his "directorial presponsibility". Columbus finally met with Culkin and agreed he was the right choice for the role. For the role of Harry, one of the bandits, Robert De Niro and Jon Lovitz were considered for the role. After both rejected it, Joe Pesci accepted it. The role of Uncle Frank was originally written for Kelsey Grammer, but was given to Gerry Bamman when Grammer was unavailable.
