Jennifer Garner called TheWayBack director on Ben Affleck's behalf.

Prior to Affleck's relapse, both he and O'Connor responded well to the film's script and wanted to be involved in its making. Initially, though, O'Connor questioned whether Affleck could play Jack Cunningham, a basketball coach dealing with addiction, as the character mirrors the actor's own struggles.

"So, he had about a week of detoxing, because he really went off the deep end, and after a week, I was able to go see him," he continues. "We spent half a day together and figured out a way to do this that will work for him, because most importantly he needed to recover and needed to get his sobriety on track. That overtook everything."

"It's almost a counter-intuitive thing with acting, because he's doing scenes that were obviously painful -- really intense and dark and bleak and suffering," he says. "And capturing that, to watch him do that was hard at times, but it also was euphoric, because that's your job as an actor, is to access these emotions and to go to places that are honest and deep and truthful.
