* IronyAsSheIsCast: Season 3 has several characters insist Charles can't sing, despite Steve Martin having multiple acclaimed albums to his name. To be fair, he only sings occasionally on his albums, some of which are largely instrumental, and others of which leave the vocals to Creator/EdieBrickell. Let's just say that in real life while he's far from a poor vocalist, Steve Martin's singing is not his chief strength as a performer (or even as a musical artist).

* AwesomeDearBoy: Detective Williams' participation in Season 3 was conceived very late into production and it wasn't certain if Creator/DaVineJoyRandolph would be available. However, Randolph was so keen to work with Creator/MerylStreep -- especially after finding out that she'd get to handcuff Streep -- that she cleared her schedule on short notice to fly to New York and shoot her scenes.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
An actors race shouldn't count as a shared background. If a specific nationality was mentioned that both actor and character shared then it would apply, but as it was written it would be like saying every white actor shares a background with their character cause they're also white.


* ActorSharedBackground: Creator/SelenaGomez as Mabel Mora and Aaron Dominguez, who played Oscar Torres, are both Latinos like their characters.
