Bruno Kirby was unavailable to reprise his role as Ed Furillo from the first film, so the character of Glen was used to replace him. Interestingly enough, the film which Glen is obsessed with, The Godfather Part II, was one of Kirby’s earliest films, and the initial relationship between Mitch and Glen is shown to parallel that of Fredo Corleone and Michael Corleone in said film.
