1* DawsonCasting: 20-year-old Abby is played by Creator/MargaritaLevieva, who was in her late thirties by the time of shooting the first season. She easily passes for a woman in her twenties though.
2* PlayingTheirOwnTwin: Creator/JamesFranco as twin brothers Vincent and Frankie Martino.
3* ProductionPosse: Plenty of veterans from ''Series/TheWire'' are behind the series or show up on camera. See [[https://www.fastcompany.com/40468232/everybody-from-the-wire-who-now-works-on-the-deuce-in-front-of-and-behind-the-camera here]] the list.
4* WrittenInInfirmity: Inverted with Harvey. The actor Creator/DavidKrumholtz filmed the first season while suffering from weight gain due to thyroid problems. Between seasons, he managed to drop almost 100 lbs, so the show acknowledges his physical transformation by giving him a girlfriend who forced him to diet. He gripes about the food she gives him but is also heard bragging about his weight loss.
