- There was no Joey Pants in this one and no recognizable that-guy. The award was just launched for the that-guy who eventually stopped being a that-guy, and Gary Sinise arguably qualifies: he may not have been Gary Sinise yet, this movie may have made him Gary Sinise, and Chicago theater people from the Steppenwolf era would have known him.
- Immediately before this he starred in ABC's adaptation of The Stand, which one host thought was great; he was in A Midnight Clear and an Of Mice and Men adaptation but had done little in movies, so the award goes to him.
