* ColorblindCasting:
** Since the show was loosely based on Pygmalion/My Fair Lady, producers originally wanted an older Englishman to play Henry Higgs. The crew could not find anyone right for the role until they did colorblind casting and found John Cho through Keli Lee who worked at ABC's Talent and Casting at the time. Even then, it took a long time to convince higher-ups he was right for the role, but it was a great achievement according to director Julie Anne Robinson who fought for John's casting. It is rare to see a romantic Asian male lead in an American series.
** Sam Saperstein was originally written as a white Jewish character, but David Harewood, a Black British actor, gave a brilliant performance. Also found by Keli Lee.
