This was the first time Johnny Bilson played Skeletor's henchman Tri-Klops onscreen. After reprising the role for several other fan films, Johnny became inextricably linked to the character in the eyes of many fans in the Masters of the Universe fanbase.
Director John Faust had seen pictures of Johnny Bilson in the Tri-Klops armor he had made, and when he met him at the first Power-Con in 2011, Faust offered him the role without even seeing an audition.
