Behind the Scenes
The script describes him as "a muscular black 17 year-old male dressed in jeans and a muscle t-shirt."
Named after Riff from West Side Story.
In the script, during the argument between Riff and Cindy about musical tastes, Riff was supposed to spit in Cindy's face. Daryl Wilcher felt awkward about having to spit in Kim Wall's face, despite the fact that she was fine with it. Just before the scene was about to shoot, Daryl was able to convince the production crew to allow him to smear his oatmeal in her face instead.
Unlike the script, Riff is actually 18 years old in the movie.
