Trivia / Veronica Mars S 02 E 02 Driver Ed

• Actor Allusion: Of course Kevin Smith would play a convenience store clerk.
• Executive Meddling: Originally, everyone was supposed to die in the bus crash, but UPN wanted one survivor.
  • Also, some of Veronica's dialogue and voice-overs tend uncomfortably towards Captain Obvious.
• First Appearance: Of Valorie Curry, as Jane, and David Starzyk, as Richard Casablancas Sr.
• Promoted Fanboy / Stunt Casting: Obviously, UPN hoped Kevin Smith being cast would help draw in viewers, but Smith was in fact a fan of the show, having promoted it on his website.
• Throw It In!: Kevin Smith improvised a lot of his lines. Including, of course, the meerkat one.
