8. He almost declined that role
He thought it might hurt his career, especially the scenes with the kid in the cockpit. But he changed his mind when he learned that Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges, and Leslie Nielsen were on board. It made him think there might be more to it than met the eye. He decided that an actor is supposed to stretch, and this would be his chance to stretch.

I think millions who love this movie are glad he changed his mind. :-)
