- Many that-guys fill the random poker scenes; a shout-out goes to Lenny Clark, now recognizable but back then known only in Boston, who has a couple of lines in one poker scene.
- Michael Raspoli (as transcribed), who plays Grandma (as transcribed): a host in the 99th percentile for this stuff did not know his name until looking it up, and the key fact is that he lost the Tony Soprano bake-off to James Gandolfini, then played Jackie April (as transcribed) as a consolation prize; an amazing what-if that likely changed his life, and he is a good actor.
