- Factory Girl: stltoday.com: Early in the production process, the film's insurers advised Hickenlooper to delete any references to Dylan. So the character was changed to an Irishman named Billy Quinn. But when Christensen arrived on the set, he refused to speak in a brogue. "He'd spent months studying the way Dylan looks and talks, and he wanted it to be real," Hickenlooper says. "So I had to respect that." (...)

Projects
- Factory Girl: ropeofsilicon.com Review "The other lead actor of note is Hayden Christensen, credited in the film only as "Folk Singer". Who Christensen really plays is Bob Dylan though the Factory Girl team is clearly quite fearful of being sued and thus never gives his identity away. This little retreat is one of the problems with the film; you know Edie is hanging out with someone famous, because it proclaims to be a true story, yet they don’t capitalize on who the person actually is. You get the idea “okay, this is an important figure” but then are left frustrated without an explanation."
- Factory Girl: Several different views of Andy Warhol (...) Hayden Christensen's charisma takes the part of rock singer and Sedgwick boyfried Billy Quinn outside, almost making a sub movie.

- Factory Girl: smudailycampus.com Review: Hayden Christensen also gives an impressive performance as the folk singer whom Sedgwick falls in love with (...) Christensen nails the part, speaking his lines in a recognizably Dylan-like drawl. His presence in Sedgwick's life is presented as positive, as Christensen's unnamed musician bashes Warhol and embraces Sedgwick. The much-discussed sex scene, regardless of how it was filmed or what the actors were actually doing when they filmed it, is what it should be: dreamy and steamy. Miller and Christensen have a tensely real chemistry together that'll make your heart break when their characters part ways.

- Factory Girl: (...) Christensen may have an even tougher part, essentially playing Dylan without getting to admit it, but he's helped by an uncanny resemblance to the folk poet as a young man, as well as an ability to capture the truth and bluster behind a young Dylan. The various scenes between Sedgwick, Warhol, and/or semi-Dylan all have an odd, alluring art-project charge.
But Pearce and Christensen aren't onscreen all the time - they can't stick around for Sedgwick's druggy fade-out - and the movie suffers without them. (...)
