Casting Michaelsen and Santos were picked for the roles when a commercial starring Santos aired during one of Michaelsen's early projects. NBC president Fred Silverman saw the commercial while watching Michaelsen's TV-movie and reportedly said "I want that guy with that girl." Another source gives credit for the role to the daughter of the producer, James Komack. Maxine (nicknamed "Maxx") Komack, whom the main character was named after, walked in on the screen tests and saw Michaelsen playing the role. She supposedly blurted out, "That's her. The little blonde girl. That's Maxx!"
