Candy turned down the role of Louis Tully in Ghostbusters and the lead in What About Bob? out of loyalty to Rick Moranis and Bill Murray's existing commitments.
The documentary's title comes from a line Candy improvised in Planes, Trains and Automobiles—a moment of self-acceptance his friends say he struggled to believe off-camera.
