Fletcher was originally brought in to consult on the skateboarding and surfing scenes, but Milch asked him to work with Ed O'Neill to see if he could act. In the end, Milch decided to cast Fletcher in the series. While busy with filming, Fletcher always had his skateboard with him and fit in a skate session when he could.
