This is the first of three appearances Lawrence Dobkin makes in the series, each time playing Dutch Schultz. The other two appearances occur in The Dutch Schultz Story (1959) and Jack 'Legs' Diamond (1960).
Lawrence Dobkin was almost as prolific as a director, primarily for TV, as he was an actor. He was also perhaps more comfortable whether behind or in front of the camera without the use of toupees, cf. his role as Colonel Gaston Bell in [linktt0066206]. Still, when the role seemed to call for a character with a full head of hair, he willingly obliged. Here, for the integrity of playing Dutch Schultz with a full head of hair, he sports a toupee.
