** When Kevin and Patrick are coming up with archetype ideas for their game in "Looking for Results", Patrick mocks Kevin by suggesting a "lusty lads of London" card, to which Kevin replies by pointedly suggesting "farm boy with big ideas". This is a clear allusion to Jonathan Groff, who was raised in a farm.

** All three main actors (Jonathan Groff, Frankie J. Alvarez and Murray Bartlett) seem to have characters named after them in the show: Kevin's boyfriend is named Jon, Agustín's boyfriend is named Frank, and Patrick's last name is Murray.



** Patrick claims "bad things happen when I get behind a microphone" in TheMovie, which is particularly funny considering Jonathan Groff is a Grammy-winning singer known for his work in the original casts of Broadway musicals such as ''Theatre/SpringAwakening'' and ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
** Dom tells Patrick to "come back down from the mountains and live with us happily ever after" in TheMovie, which could be a reference to the fact that Jonathan Groff voices mountain man Kristoff in ''Disney/{{Frozen}}''.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot:
** Jonathan Groff [[http://www.playbill.com/article/why-looking-has-changed-jonathan-groffs-life has said]] Patrick and Kevin's storyline in "Looking for Home" was based on a real-life relationship of his.
--> "I had told Andrew [Haigh] of a break up I had where the other guy wanted to [[spoiler: be in an open relationship]]—so he wrote that situation for Patrick and Kevin."
** Creator/ScottBakula's casting in ''Series/NCISNewOrleans'' limited Lynn's participation in season 2. The only reason Lynn was back at all was because Bakula loved the show so much he flew from New Orleans to San Francisco on his days off just so he could be in it for a few more episodes.
