20 Things You Didn't Know About Raising Arizona

20. 15 Babies Were Hired To Play The Quintuplets... And One Was Fired.

Child actors can be a nightmare for filmmakers, especially babies. With all sorts of child labour laws restricting how many hours a child can work, making a film that so heavily relied on babies being in shot required a lot of hirings, with the presence of quintuplets making it even more difficult.

Shooting over ten weeks, a lot can happen in a young child's development... such as learning to walk. As the film required the babies to crawl for the entirety of the movie, attempting to force a baby to do so rather than explore its exciting new venture on two feet is near impossible.

Unluckily for one of the mothers on set, her baby learned to walk during production, and was promptly fired. The mother persevered, however, and attempted to force her baby to crawl again by putting its shoes on backwards.

In case you were wondering, only one baby was selected to play Nathan Junior throughout the film: T.J. Kuhn, who now works as a real estate agent.
