The Alien Nation franchise is well-represented in Later Daters with Eric Pierpoint, who played the lead Sam Francisco on the TV series; Jeff Kober, who appeared in the original film; and Joel Polis, who was a frequent guest star on the TV show..
Every main cast member has appeared on at least one version of a Star Trek TV series with the exception of Carolyn Hennesy who voiced the role of Lieutenant T'Nar in the Star Trek: Bridge Crew video game, although Carolyn does appear in both the Star Wars and Terminator franchises.
This is the second time Jeff Kober has played a rock star in a short film, the first being Session Man, which went on to win the Oscar for Best Live Action Short.
This is the first time in 40 years David Clennon and Joel Polis have appeared together on screen since their roles as Palmer and Fuchs in John Carpenter's The Thing.
Jeff Kober, Joel Polis, and writer/director Fred Shahadi originally met doing the play FLAGS at the Odyssey Theater in Los Angeles directed by Jenny Sullivan.
