  • The award is named after Joey Pants; Strother Martin is proposed first, a known name in the 60s who now reads as a that guy, then George Firth (as transcribed), who plays Woodcock, is offered instead and judged even better.
  • George Firth is actually a writer who is nonetheless seen acting a lot, with a great that-guy name and face; the joke is that he gets the roles Charles Grodin passes on.

  • The candidates are the giant Harvey, who is confirmed not to be Richard Kiel from the Bond movies and may not be a true giant since they shot him from below, and Strother Martin, who gets the award with agreement for going for it in his scene, with the 'you're going to die bloody' line recalled; Strother Martin appears in all three 1969 westerns, True Grit, The Wild Bunch and this one.
