Ken Runnion had a small sitting role on The Good Wife.
The show's creators, Thomas Brungardt and Ken Runnion, are also the founding members of the band Ruckus Penguins.
The concept for Baked Alaska was, like many ideas by Thomas Brungardt and Ken Runnion, a throw away joke told through text on a Tuesday night. Thomas and Ken, known collectively as Ruckus Penguins, are notorious for making throw away joke ideas come to life. For whatever reason, jokes and character development became more and more serious, and eventually a first draft was written for the pilot.
The character of Jody (Ken Runnion) was originally based on rapper RiFF RAFF.
