This episode was Eddie Cahill's first ever on-screen role.
Donovan Leitch, who plays the artist Baird Johnson, is actually mentioned in the book "Sex and the City" by Candace Bushnell.
This episode has been criticised for the biphobic statements made by the main characters.
When Carrie is telling her friends that Sean has told her he's bisexual she comments that he said it as flippantly as "I'm from Colorado" in Friends, Eddie Cahill plays Tag (who dates Rachel) and is from Colorado
Carrie implies that bisexuals are just gay people still in the closet. Some people claim her comment had such impact on pop culture and helped to promote the stereotype that bisexuals were kidding themselves. Such a stereotype endured many years after the show ended, and did no good for the bi community.
