Jason Reitman, the film's director, said that Jim Henson was written with Braun in mind to play the role, showcasing the strong artistic vision behind the casting.
Braun, known for his Emmy-winning role as the bumbling, awkward Greg Hirsch on HBO's 'Succession,' stars as both Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman in 'Saturday Night,' which is a significant challenge.
Reitman previously told IndieWire that he and co-writer Gil Kenan always had Braun in mind for Henson, highlighting the seamless integration of actor and character.
While it's not uncommon for actors on 'SNL' to play various characters, it was surprising that Braun was tapped to portray two different people in 'Saturday Night.'
