The character of boy scout Jim Morgan in this film was then 11-year old Carl Craig's (aka Kurl Crane) only acting job. But even though he had no ambition to become an actor, he nevertheless became a celebrity to friends and fellow children in Japan. He later became a U.S. Air Force pilot (which he had always dreamed of becoming) and later a U.S. Customs Service pilot. He was also an advisor on the staff of then U.S. President George Bush. But Carl still fondly remembers his one acting role to this day and is kind enough to share his memories of the film with his many fans at Japanese monster (kaiju eiga) conventions.
