Former Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick said in an interview that she'd known writer/director/actor John Schneider for years because they did the same autograph signing circuit together. One day he said he thought she'd be perfect for a role in his movie and sent her the script. But after reading it, she didn't know whether to be flattered or insulted because the character was completely hideous and an awful woman. But the role ended up being a lot of fun because she was playing someone who's the complete opposite of her.
