Given an uncredited bit part as one of the stevedores in this show, Charlie Picerni is perhaps better known in the industry for his work as a stunt coordinator/director, as well as performing stunts and acting as stunt doubles for other actors. His work in Die Hard (1988) and the franchise that followed made him a star in the field of movie stunts. The actor who plays Lee Hobson in The Untouchables (1959) is in real life his brother.
Adjusted for inflation, the $2,000 weekly salary Big Joe is being paid would equal approximately $45,600 in the year 2024. The $50 Big Joe give the bartender would equal about $1,140.
This is the only appearance the quite prolific actor Frank Cady makes in the series, but the reason for this solitary showing may be that he was busy with other commitments. At the time this episode originally aired, he was best known to TV viewers for his recurring role as Doc Williams in the long-running TV sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952). Later in the 1960s, he would become even better known to TV audiences for his recurring role as Sam Drucker in the overlapping TV sitcoms Petticoat Junction (1963), Green Acres (1965), and The Beverly Hillbillies (1962).
