A number of actors who appeared in the movies Apollo 13 (Tom Hanks, Chris Ellis, Brett Cullen, Clint Howard) and The Right Stuff (David Clennon) appear in this series, but as different characters. Some of the NASA flight controllers are played by actors who played similar roles in the film, but because of the large cast of characters this can lead to some confusion in terms of who is who.
