This introduces the recurring character Blowfish.
Johnny Depp's long time friend, Sal Jenco played the recurring character of Blowfish. He and Depp would later partner in the ownership of the infamous Viper Room Lounge where River Phoenix died.
An undeveloped plot twist would have revealed that Sal 'Blowfish' Banducci (Jump Street's janitor) was in fact an undercover agent of Internal Affairs. Later shows had scenes which hinted at this, in particular one line in which Blowfish is changing a light-bulb and is recognized by another officer as an IA agent. In yet another scene, when Blowfish is at dinner with the Jump Street officers, he becomes nervous when asked about his background and says coldly that he's just a janitor.
This marks the first time, Hanson and Penhall went undercover as the McQuaid Brothers.
