The movie is inspired by the life of pool "shark" Eddie Felson, also known as "Fast Eddie."
The movie The Hustler is base loosely on the novel by the same name, which was written by Walter Tevis. However, Tevis always maintained Parker's life was no more than 30 percent of the Felson story.
The film also featured a character named Minnesota Fats. There's a misconception that the character Minnesota Fats is based on the real Minnesota Fats . Actually, the character appeared in the book and the film before Wanderone, who up until this time had called himself "New York Fats," appropriated the name.
Also, 14-tme pool champion, Willie Mosconi, made a cameo appearance in the movie. He played them man who held the bet between Fast Eddie and Minnesota Fats. He also performed one of the trick shots for the actor.
