Wells was played by noted actor Joe Morton who had previously played a role in the 1991 sci-fi film "". Robert Patrick later noted that "Joe Morton is a fantastic actor. We never worked together in ["Terminator 2"], but we're in that movie together. And Joe was "The Brother from Another Planet"." The scene in which Martin Wells is assassinated was at the "legendary" Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. This location, which has been the shooting location for over 200 productions, is perhaps more infamous as the site of Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy's assassination by Sirhan Sirhan in 1968.
