Hell on Wheels/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Hey look! It's Chief O'Brien as the Railroad Baron!
    • Made even funnier in episode three when the very Irish Colm Meaney (but playing a New Yorker) asks the Oirish McGinnes brothers why they left such a "beautiful country."
    • Captan Leland Stottlemeyer as Daniel Johnson in the pilot
  • Irony As He Is Cast: According to an article in TV Guide, one of the reasons Anson Mount got the role of Bohannon was that the producers thought he had a rugged look to him and wasn't a typical Hollywood Pretty Boy. However, One of Mount's first major roles was as the Pretty Boy love interest (to Britney Spears, no less) in Britney's best-forgotten film début Crossroads.
