"I am quite sought after in the film world. I would like to share with you a real email that I got from my agents about 30 days ago. He then read an email asking him to self-tape for "Young Cop" in an untitled Maggie Gyllenhaal project."
"No, I didn't. And I would love to see his tape if he'd like to send it to me now. - Maggie Gyllenhaal, responding to whether she received Mulaney's self-tape for The Bride."
"I gave him a name after I watched that incredible fucking super funny thing that John Mulaney did. I named him Officer Goodman. - Maggie Gyllenhaal explaining how Mulaney's comedy bit inspired the character's final name."
At the 2024 Governors Awards, John Mulaney performed a comedic monologue claiming he self-taped for a role in an untitled Maggie Gyllenhaal film project, later revealed to be The Bride. He read an email from his agents requesting a self-tape for the character "Young Cop." However, director Maggie Gyllenhaal confirmed she never received Mulaney's tape and expressed interest in seeing it. Despite not casting Mulaney, Gyllenhaal was inspired by his humorous bit and renamed the character Officer Goodman. Actor Louis Cancelmi ultimately received the role, with Jessie Buckley praising his performance.
