** Likewise, Creator/CurtisArmstrong, who played Ahmet Ertegun, had to shave off his thick curly hair in order to play Ertegun, who was already undergoing male pattern baldness when he signed Ray to Atlantic. Amusingly, most of that hair was eventually used to make a wig for the already bald Richard Schiff, who had been cast to play Jerry Wexler.
