Trivia

It could be a coincidence, but there is a real life blues musician from Lousiana, named Dr. John. Perhaps the character's name came from a fan.

Tim Curry and Mark Hamill both auditioned for the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series. Hamill got the part.

Leilani Jones (Malia Gedde) seems to like the Voodoo Priestess gig. She also plays one in LucasArts' 'Curse of Monkey Island'.
