Trivia / Royal Pains

• Actor Allusion:
  • Ed Asner's character is almost always seen in a bowtie.
  • In the episode "Me First", Madeline Zima plays a nanny. One of Zima's well know roles was of Grace Sheffield on "The Nanny."
  • In "Pregnant Paws", Claire Coffee plays an animal boarder who contracts a serious infection from a cat scratch. On Grimm, she plays Adalind Schade, a witch who places a curse on Juliette via a cat scratch.
  • Willa Fitzgerald playing a teenage girl named Emma who has a troubled relationship with her father.
• California Doubling: Averted. Just as with Burn Notice for Miami, this show is filmed on-location in the Long Island / Hamptons area. However, Puerto Rico doubled for Cuba during the Boris-in-Cuba mini-arc, though it's not like they could just up and film in Cuba.
• The Cast Showoff:
  • A small one, but the season 3 premiere has Hank juggling oranges for a bit.
  • Reshma Shetty sings Ave Maria in an operatic Soprano in episode 313.
• The Danza: Jill Casey, who is played by Jill Flint and Dieter, who is played by Dieter Riesle.
• Fake American:
  • The all-American Dr. Emily Peck is played by British Anastasia Griffith
  • Canadian Paulo Costanzo as New Yorker Evan R. Lawson.
• Fake Nationality: The German billionaire Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz is played by New York City native Campbell Scott, the son of George C. Scott.
• Follow the Leader: Like Burn Notice, this show features a man who loses his job through no fault of his own and is forced to get by in an unfamiliar situation. That's a quote from the commercial where Michael writes to Hank, and sends him a few things he might need; sunglasses, some sunscreen, a block of C4...
  • Also: a doctor who chooses to save the life of a regular kid over an influential person which causes him to lose his job and his fiancée? Somebody better keep an eye on the kid...
