Numerous cast members of the Canadian comedy series SCTV turn up in bit parts in this film: Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara (in her film debut) and Tony Rosato. This casting was entirely due to the connection with director George Bloomfield, who had directed SCTV from 1977 to 1979, and who brought the SCTV actors into the fold for this film. A similar casting situation occurred with Bloomfield's next film, Double Negative, released just two months after Nothing Personal.
