Added DiffLines:

* EnforcedMethodActing:
** When not filming, John Landis purposely prevented the actors playing Deltas from interacting with the actors playing Omegas so that the "enemies" wouldn't end up bonding with each other (the Delta actors were even brought to the set a few weeks earlier than the Omegas to achieve this).
** As a mark of the success of Landis' plan, Bruce [=McGill=], who played D-Day, had the piano at the hotel accommodating the cast moved to his room and held late night parties with the other Delta actors; Mark Metcalf, who played Niedermeyer, had his room changed to the one above [=McGill's=] so that the noise and resulting sleep loss would keep him in a bad mood for filming.

Added DiffLines:

* TheDanza: John Belushi as John "Bluto" Blutarsky.
** Subverted, however, with John Vernon's character Vernon Wormer, the dean of the college. According to John Landis, his first choice for the role was [[Franchise/{{Dragnet}} Jack Webb]], who turned it down because he felt that the film was making fun of his straight-laced, law-and-order image.
* DawsonCasting: Most of the cast. For example, Mark Metcalf (Neidermeyer) was 32.

It\'s not an Actor Allusion, since Animal House predated the broadcasting of The Day After. It\'s just a weird coincidence.

* CareerResurrection: For ElmerBernstein, whose career was mostly spent scoring TV shows in the 1970's (a far cry from ''Film/TheTenCommandments'' and ''TheMagnificentSeven''). His work on the film later made him a go-to composer for many popular comedies (such as ''{{Airplane}}'', ''{{Stripes}}'' and ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}'') and he became John Landis's AssociatedComposer.
