Added DiffLines:
* ActorInspiredElement: Frost was a chain smoker in the novels. This was changed for the series because Creator/DavidJason had recently quit smoking cigarettes in real life.
* DisownedAdaptation: R.D. Wingfield was very critical of the series, saying that it had ruined the character of Jack Frost.
* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/DavidJason grew a moustache for the series. He imagined that Frost grew one in his youth to give himself a few extra years and more maturity. He lost the moustache between series to play other parts and than needed four weeks to grow it back as well as stop shaving at the right time ahead of shooting. Sometimes Jason missed the mark and had to help it along with a bit of "coloring-in"' but it was always ready for filming.

* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/DavidJason in a non-comedic role.
* RealLifeRelative: Arthur White (Ernie Trigg) is Creator/DavidJason's real life elder brother. There was already an actor called David White registered with the acting union so David chose to use Jason as his stage name.
* ScullyBox: Creator/DavidJason is 5' 6'' which is quite short for a policeman, so he tried to stand as tall as possible and give Frost a "very correct, shoulders-back bearing" so his height was less of an issue.
* TomHanksSyndrome: The series was notable in changing the public perception of Creator/DavidJason from a predominantly comic actor to a dramatic actor.
