This is one of the few appearances Richard Anderson, who is perhaps best known for his role as Oscar Goldman in both The Six Million Dollar Man (1974) and The Bionic Woman (1976), makes before cameras without his toupée.
This is Ed Begley's second appearance on The Fugitive (1963). In both, he played characters with physical disabilities. In Man in a Chariot (1964) he played a wheelchair bound law professor. In this episode, he is a retired sheriff that has lost his sight. Both appearances are in the second season.
Richard Anderson, who plays the police chief, also plays Kimble's brother-in-law in season four. This is the first of six episodes Richard Anderson appears in throughout the series.
This is the third of five appearances Bing Russell makes in the series, each time playing a character involved in law enforcement.
This is the second of four appearances Vaughn Taylor makes in the series, the other three appearances occurring in Fatso (1963), Three Cheers for Little Boy Blue (1965), Joshua's Kingdom (1966).
