À l'occasion d'un événement consacré à sa personne intitulé "Over the Top: An Evening with John Lithgow", John Lithgow (le fameux Trinity Killer de Dexter) a répondu à quelques questions sur sa carrière, ses années fac et son étiquette d'acteur over the top. Bon, il parle principalement de ses anciens rôles (3rd Rock from the Sun, "Ricochet", "Raising Cain") mais il réserve une anecdote sympathique sur la façon dont il a reçu le rôle de Arthur Mitchell :
"I was told about the offer on a Wednesday night, and on Thursday morning, about 12 hours later, I met with the executive producer, Clyde Phillips. He told me every single detail of the plot and described the duality of the character, and I told him, "You have come to exactly the right actor; I know just how to play this." On the other hand, I had just come off working very hard in New York all year doing my one-man show and in "All My Sons" and had planned a long summer break with my wife; we were going to Europe. And I actually turned the role down on Friday, believe it or not. By Sunday, my wife said, "John, you've got to play this part." So I called and said, "Listen, have you given it to anybody else yet? "And fortunately, they hadn't. And God knows, I'm glad they hadn't. It was even richer than I thought it would be."
