As far as we can tell, only one Oscar-winning movie has ever been filmed at U of T. But if they gave out an Academy Award for most popular film location, U of T would definitely get a nod. In one scene, actor Edward Norton, disguised as a delivery man, infiltrates the fictional Culver University, where he runs into former Hulk actor Lou Ferrigno.
Edward Norton is not the biggest star ever to wander the halls of Knox College. Tom Cruise has been there too — in one of the most successful movies to emerge from the early days of Hollywood North. Brutalist architecture on the St. George campus has gotten its 15 minutes, too! Here Robarts Library plays a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic, mega-prison. This slasher flick in which people die in ways described by urban legends seems to cover the entire downtown campus, with scenes at Victoria, Knox and the Rotman School.
The University College quad is ground zero, however, with shots inside and out and in front of the Sir Daniel Wilson residence. The cutesy-pie characters in this predictable romantic comedy study at the EJ Pratt Library, walk out of the Earth Sciences Building and even hang out at the cafe at Sid Smith. In this shot, Con Hall is pretty obvious. There is, however, a crucial flashback set in Tokyo that was actually shot on Elizabeth Street, right outside the Chestnut Residence.
Then the credits end, his character flunks out and the plot is set in motion. Inspired comedy ensues. Knox College appears again! Lindsay Lohan stars in this Tina Fey-scripted comedic exploration of high school social strata. Convocation Hall is the setting for the climactic Mathletes competition.

Though it would be another decade before Jeremy Piven found mega-stardom with Entourage , Bochner knew he was the right actor for the lead role of James "Droz" Andrews. On the film's DVD commentary, Piven complained that Bochner did not let him improvise; the actor felt the movie would have been funnier had he been allowed to do so.
Bochner apparently allowed Piven to warn Jon Favreau's character, Gutter, about being "that guy" at the concert wearing the band's T-shirt. Though some footage was shot on the Wesleyan campus , for the most part, the University of Toronto portrayed the fictitious Port Chester University. When Gutter goes into Port Chester, he really goes to the village of Unionville.
Upon being reminded of the softball loss by Ted Demme, Leary replied, "Yeah, but we have a better script. While, in , Favreau called working on the movie an "amazing experience," he also revealed in a Reddit AMA his most vivid memory was spending nine hours in a chair getting dreadlocks woven into his hair to play Gutter.
