Trivia: Arthur

The animated series:

Arthur The film:

  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Barney Martin, aka Morty Seinfeld, as Linda's dad.
    • Paul Gleason as an executive who has this memorable exchange with Hobson.
      Executive: He gets all that money. Pays his family back by... by... by bein' a stinkin' drunk. It's enough ta make ya sick.
      Hobson: I really wouldn't know, sir. I'm just a servant.
      Executive: Yeah.
      Hobson: On the other hand, go screw yourself.
    • Perry's wife is played by Helen Hanft, who is a major Broadway actress.
    • Ted Ross plays Bitterman.
  • Money, Dear Boy: The only way Helen Mirren would appear in the remake. Interestingly, this follows on from Sir John Gielgud in the original — it took a lot of money to get him signed on after Dudley Moore suggested him for the role.
  • Playing Against Type: Shakespearean actor Sir John Gielgud as Hobson — and it won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
