- Cast the Expert: Father O'Brien is played by Robert W. Castle, an Episcopal priest and cousin of Jonathan Demme.
- Defictionalization: The prominently-featured "timpano" (actually a pun built around the dish's resemblance to a Timpani drum) was a modification of a timballo dish from Tucci's own family. With the rise of the internet, and particularly the YouTube series Binging with Babish, the dish has had a bit of a renaissance, with recipes appearing in several prominent publications.
- Directed by Cast Member: Co-directed by Stanley Tucci.
- Fake Nationality: Tony Shalhoub (Lebanese-American), Ian Holm (English), and Marc Anthony (Puerto Rican) all play Italians.
- Real-Life Relative: Christine Tucci, Stanley's sister, cameos as a singer.
- Those Two Actors: Allison Janney and Liev Schreiber also appeared in Walking and Talking that same year, though again, they shared no scenes together.
- What Could Have Been: Mary-Louise Parker was originally cast as Phyillis.
