Boris Karloff had been Universal's original choice for the role as the Invisible Man. Karloff was said to have turned it down because he would not be seen on screen. In reality a quarrel with director James Whale broke up their relationship, and the director decided he wanted someone with more of an "intellectual" voice and Karloff's marked lisp had also become an issue. Whale selected Claude Rains after accidentally hearing Rains' screen test being played in another room. Until this film, Rains had primarily been a stage actor. Although he had appeared in one silent movie, Build Thy House (1920), this was his first sound film.
