Actors who played minor characters (Ian Nelson, Christine Chenovet, John Corbett) also coped with the images.
The reaction of the public and critics
Critics were not delighted with the picture and noted an unworked and full of dies scenario, a weak play of actors.

As for the reaction of the audience, the film definitely caused a stir. With a budget of $ 4 million, he managed to raise 52.5 million at the box office.
A small capital affected the filming process. The actors who worked on the film “Fans” admitted that the site was not at all luxurious. For example, they had only one trailer for all. The shooting schedule was also very intense. Only 25 days were given for the whole process. It is noteworthy that the film "Fan" actors and director Rob Cohen managed to shoot even before the deadline, keeping within 23 days. Well, all the inconvenience that fell to their lot was justified by the high box office.
