<P> The film begins during the thirtieth year of the show . Truman starts noticing unusual events that seem centered on him: a falling spotlight, rain that only falls on him, and a radio channel that precisely describes his movements . Truman spots a disheveled man and recognizes him as his father, who had snuck back into the set, but other actors quickly drag the man away . Despite efforts by Meryl and Truman's best friend Marlon to reassure him, Truman becomes even more suspicious about his life . One day, he takes Meryl by surprise by going on an impromptu road trip, but their way is blocked by increasingly implausible emergencies . Meryl begins to break down from the stress; during an argument with Truman, she breaks character and is taken off the show . Hoping to bring Truman back to a controllable state, Christof re-introduces Truman's father to the show properly, under the guise of having lost his memory after the boating accident . This helps the show regain the ratings lead with audiences . </P> <P> Truman seems to return to his routines, except that after Meryl moves out he begins sleeping in his basement . One evening the production staff discovers that the sleeping Truman is completely out of their sight . Marlon is sent to check on Truman, finding that he has left a dummy and a tape recorder in his place and disappeared through a makeshift tunnel . Marlon breaks character, and Christof orders the first transmission cut in the show's history while a citywide search for Truman is launched . Audiences around the world are drawn to this sudden change . Truman is found sailing out of Seahaven, having conquered his fear of water, and Christof resumes the broadcast as he sends a man - made lightning storm to try to capsize the boat . Network executives fear that Truman may die on live television, but Truman manages to persist . Realizing he cannot dissuade Truman any further, Christof ends the storm . </P> <P> Truman continues to sail until--to his surprise--his boat punctures the wall of the dome . He finds an exit door, but Christof, speaking directly to Truman through a speaker system, tries to convince him to stay, stating there is "no more truth" in the real world and that by staying in his artificial world, he would have nothing to fear . Truman considers this, then states: "In case I don't see you...good afternoon, good evening, and good night," previously his unwitting catch - phrase, takes a bow, and leaves . Sylvia races to meet Truman, while Christof's supervisors end the show for the last time and the viewers of his show start looking for something else to watch . </P> <Ul> <Li> Jim Carrey as Truman Burbank: Chosen out of six unwanted pregnancies and the first child to be legally adopted by a corporation, Truman is unaware that his daily life is broadcast continuously around the world . He has a job in the insurance business and a lovely wife, but he eventually notices that his environment is not what it seems to be . Robin Williams was considered for the role, but Weir cast Carrey after seeing him in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective because Carrey's performance reminded him of Charlie Chaplin . Carrey took the opportunity to proclaim himself as a dramatic actor, rather than being typecast in comedic roles . Carrey, who was then normally paid $20 million per film, agreed to do The Truman Show for $12 million . Carrey and Weir initially found working together on set difficult (Carrey's contract gave him the power to demand rewrites), but Weir was impressed with Carrey's improvisational skills, and the two became more interactive . The scene in which Truman declares "this planet Trumania of the Burbank galaxy" to the bathroom mirror was Carrey's idea . </Li> <Li> Laura Linney as Hannah Gill acting as Meryl Burbank, Truman's wife, a nurse at the local hospital . Since the show relies on product placement for revenue, Meryl regularly shows off various items she has recently "purchased", one of the many oddities that makes Truman question his life . Her role is to act the part of Truman's wife and ultimately to have a child by him, despite her reluctance to accomplish either . Linney heavily studied Sears catalogs from the 1950s to develop her character's poses . </Li> <Li> Ed Harris as Christof: The creator of The Truman Show . Christof remains dedicated to the program at all costs, often overseeing and directing its course in person (rather than through aides), but at the climax, he speaks to Truman over a loudspeaker, revealing the nature of Truman's situation . Dennis Hopper was originally cast in the role, but he left in April 1997 (during filming) over "creative differences". Harris was a last - minute replacement . A number of other actors had turned down the role after Hopper's departure . Harris considered making Christof a hunchback, but Weir did not like the idea . </Li> <Li> Noah Emmerich as Louis Coltrane playing Marlon, Truman's best friend since early childhood . Marlon is a vending machine operator for the company Goodies, who promises Truman he would never lie to him, despite the latest events in Truman's life . Emmerich has said, "My character is in a lot of pain . He feels really guilty about deceiving Truman . He's had a serious drug addiction for many years . Been in and out of rehab ." Very little of this is shown in the finished film, but several deleted scenes depict Louis actively expressing guilt over Truman's situation, and in one sequence he spots Truman during his escape and purposely says nothing . His name is an amalgam of two jazz musicians, Louis Armstrong and John Coltrane, and in one scene he plays trumpet . </Li> <Li> Natascha McElhone as Sylvia playing Lauren Garland (Truman's college schoolmate): Sylvia was hired to play a background extra, a fellow student at Truman's college, named Lauren . She became romantically involved with Truman and tried to reveal to him the truth about his life, but was thrown out of the show before she could do so . She then becomes a protester against The Truman Show, urging Christof to release its lead . </Li> <Li> Brian Delate as Walter Moore playing Kirk Burbank, Truman's father . When Truman was a boy, his character on the show was killed off to instill a fear of water in his son that would prevent Truman from leaving the set; however, he sneaks back onto the set when Truman is an adult . This causes Truman to begin questioning his staged life, and as he tries to get away from it the writers are forced to write a plot in which Kirk had not drowned but had suffered from amnesia . </Li> <Li> Holland Taylor as Alanis Montclair playing Angela Burbank, Truman's mother: Christof orders that she attempt to persuade Truman to have children . </Li> <Li> Paul Giamatti as Simeon (control room director). Though second - in - command at the lunar room, he is conflicted when ordered to attempt to kill Truman via storm . </Li> <Li> Peter Krause as Laurence (Truman's boss): At Truman's office, Laurence often interrupts Truman when he talks about his dreams of moving to Fiji . </Li> </Ul>
