We Need to Talk About That Epic Paper Towns Cameo

Director Jake Schreier told MTV News that the idea of a cameo came about at either The Fault in Our Stars premiere or the MTV Movie Awards. "There aren't a lot of other characters in the film," he said. "Our options were limited. It was basically that or he could have been a check-out guy. I mean, I guess he could have played Gus [the Sun Trust building guard], but that could have been a little weird — you know, just the name's the same."
