The Author's Keyboard:
  • Robert Hewitt Wolfe:
    When you do a story, do you create/round out a character with certain guest stars in mind? For instance, even though he was Kurn first, I can't imagine, given his excellent portrayal, anybody else but Tony Todd as adult Jake.
    But interestingly, the part wasn't written for him. He won out over a number of other actors in open auditions.
