Production

Geno Lechner as Suzanne. Geno Lechner felt an unexplainable connection to the film before knowing if she would actually play Suzanne. After she and co-star Roger Rees met with director Eric Werthman, they went to a dungeon where Lechner and Rees saw the S&M world up-close for the first time.

Roger Rees as Peter. Roger Rees's agents originally told him that Going Under would be too racy and they weren't going to send him the script. However, Rees prefers to play diverse and challenging roles rather than the same types of characters, so he asked them to send the script anyway. Although his character's nudity was a concern, he decided the story made it worthwhile.

Other cast: Kit Flanagan as Pat, Miho Nikaido as Miko, Jon Johnson as Crying man (Peter's patient), Wendy Scharfman as Paula (Peter's patient), Phyllis Somerville as Juno, Beau Van Donkelaar as Steve (Suzanne's brother), Angela Forrest as Mistress Terry, Jenny Sterlin as Gretchen.
