- Even while off-camera, all of the actors would remain in character and continue the Frost/Nixon rivalry by bickering and making fun of each other.
- Max Elliott Slade: Man standing by camera at around 1h 5mins. First appearance in a film in over 12 years, though uncredited as the 'Smith crew'.
- Frank Langella is four inches taller than the man he portrays, Richard Nixon.
- Frank Langella admits that he usually enjoys playing cards and joking around on movie sets, but felt it would compromise his character if he didn't remain presidential on this set. While working on this movie other cast and crew referred to him as "Mr. President." Langella suggests almost none of the crew ever met Frank Langella.
- While Richard Nixon was six years younger than his agent Swifty Lazar, Lazar is portrayed by Toby Jones, who is twenty-eight years younger than Nixon's portrayer, Frank Langella.
