FUN FACTS

Originally, the lead role was to be played by Luis Ariaga, lead singer of Little Luis y Los Wild Teens, whom director Ian Jones had met in jail. A last minute emergency prevented Luis from making it to the shoot, so Ian decided to play the role himself.

Just a few months prior to production, two men attacked William "The Messiah" Welch, who played the Thug, in his apartment and cut off his thumb with a pair of gardening shears. The attackers are still at large. For sketches of the attackers or to report a tip in relation to this case, please visit the America's Most Wanted website.

Gary Yap, set superviser and storyboard artist for PO BOX, has won an Emmy for his work on "King of the Hill." He has also worked on the Simpsons, the Oblongs, and was a comic book artist for DC Comics.

In the background of the first post office box scene, the two men walking by snuggling are producer Kai Van Der Putten and set supervisor Gary Yap. Gary improvised a bit and grabbed Kai’s butt without telling Kai in advance. Kai, like the professional that he is, remained in character.
