Following Charlize Theron and Patrick Wilson 's casting , Patton Oswalt was signed after doing a table read-through of the script at Reitman 's house . Oswalt said that because his character , Matt Freehauf , had been badly beaten as a teen and was required to walk with a brace , he consulted with both an acting coach and a physical therapist to prepare for the role : " I just wanted less and less to have to think about so I could be more present in the scenes with Charlize . She 's a really instinctual actor and I really did n't want to be sitting there with eight other thoughts on my head while she 's just rolling with it .
