Trivia
This was Derek Mio's first role. He heard about auditions from a relative who saw a casting notice in a local paper. However, when Mio's casting submission was received, he had already been recommended to director Chris Tashima by his friend François Chau, who had recently seen Mio at a commercial audition.
