Bronson Pinchot is anything but a "media baby", so when was called upon to imitate or perform something from popular culture the producers would provide him with materials to study. This was the case with Elvis Presley. In one interview, Pinchot said he hadn't cared a thing about Elvis until this script came along and he had to thoroughly research the singer / actor to learn his mannerisms and style of speech. "... I watched a tape of every single thing he did - and now I always smile when I see Elvis and say, 'That's an outtake from a 1956 Sun Records session.'".
