Patch Adams/Trivia


 * Creator Backlash/Disowned Adaptation: The real Patch Adams himself was dissatisfied with the film, saying that it is more commercial and focuses more on him being funny than his actual methods . He was, however, pleased at being played by Robin Williams (though not so much Williams not donating a cent of his salary on the film to Adams' institute).
 * Dawson Casting: Patch Adams, who was 24 when this movie takes place, was played by 46-year-old Robin Williams.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Of all people, one of the kids is played by Greg Sestero, who later played Mark in The Room.
