Stand-ins are typically used to make the shooting schedule easier, not having to have all the star actors/actresses on-set together in order to shoot scenes.

For example, for the scene where Paterno confronts Ganim in a dark alley and threatens to throw her in front of a train if she doesn't back off the Sandusky story*, they can still shoot parts of the scene if either Al Pacino or Riley Keough isn't available that day by using (much cheaper) stand-ins for shots where one character or the other's face isn't shown.

I have no idea what sort of swimming they have in mind for Paterno. Maybe a scene of him casually swimming laps in the pool while callously ignoring the cries of Sandusky's victim in the nearby locker room*?

*"Artistic license" may or may not have been taken for these scenes.

Who will be McQueray hearing "his own sounds" in a closed stall while he imagines things?

I knew dozens of Ganims in and out of dorm and motel beds.

Choo..choo.....

This would be the scene where Raykovitz tells Paterno to wear swim trunks.

I hear McQueary will be played by the legendary Chinese actor, Sum Dum Fuk.

I hope today's Auditor General report makes the movie.

Of course the deviant Jacobs and his following are praising Ganshit like she's St. Joan of Arc.

Before ending credits they will say Curley etc were found guilty. Then roll credits. Not fun tv. Need to win the championship and hold up signs saying how we feel. %#@&$@&&%#££^!!!!!

It says Posnanski's the co-producer. Posnanski's remained pretty pro-Paterno through all of this as far as I'm aware.
