Answer: Annie Porter

Before Sandra was cast as Annie Porter, the role was offered to model/actress Halle Berry. Fortunately for Sandy's fans, Ms. Berry declined the part. In a 1996 interview, Sandra told "Premiere" magazine, "Everyone told me to pass on 'Speed'. I heard, 'You're not going to do the bus movie... chuckle chuckle.' It was the industry joke." To her subsequent regret, Sandra reprised her role as Annie Porter in the ill-fated 1997 sequel, "Speed 2: Cruise Control". Regarding that experience, she later told Reuters, "I just didn't know when to step out of a project if I felt the script wasn't being developed properly. I went into it with the best intentions, but its failure was the best thing for me on a lot of levels. It proved a lot of things that I felt to be true to begin with, and it placed me in a situation that I was more comfortable with because nobody cared about me after it was done. I failed and was on the outs and I was able to go back and concentrate on things I loved."

Answer: Ticket Agent

Lucy sold tickets on the "L", Chicago's famous elevated rail transit system. You can learn just about everything there is to know about the "L" at www.chicago-l.org. As "While You Were Sleeping" unfolded, we learned that Lucy had a secret crush on Peter. After Peter was mugged and fell unconscious onto the tracks just outside of Lucy's ticket booth, she pulled him to safety in the face of an approaching train. While Peter was hospitalized in a coma, Lucy inadvertently became an extended member of his family, and found herself in the confusing situation of pretending to be Peter's fiancé, while she was simultaneously falling hopelessly in love with his brother, Jack. Bill Pullman and Peter Gallagher co-starred as Jack and Peter Callaghan. So how did it all end? No spoilers here! If you don't already know, you'll have to rent the DVD to find out!

In this movie we see a side of her that we never see. She is very good in the role of Gwen, the alcoholic/drug addict. She was caught using again, so her councillor had warned her about going to jail. She promises to behave in rehab, rather than go to jail for her using again.

Answer: Who Do I Gotta Kill?

Sandra Bullock and Steve Buscemi both had small roles in the 1992 comedy "Who Do I Gotta Kill?" (also known by the alternate video title "Me & The Mob"). A stereotypical "direct to video" release, the film was panned by both critics and audiences alike. In "28 Days", Sandra's character Gwen Cummings suffered from an alcohol abuse problem. She was compelled to attend a drug and alcohol rehab program in lieu of receiving a jail sentence, after stealing a limousine and crashing it while driving under the influence. Sandra spent research time at a real rehabilitation center to prepare for her role as Gwen.

Prufrock Pictures (formerly Fandango Films) was founded by Meg Ryan, but ceased operations in 2000.
