TRIVIA--- in AIRPLANE!, Lloyd Bridges played Tower Supervisor Steve McCroskey, and Kenneth Tobey played Air Controller Neubauer. Both Bridges and Tobey had earlier roles as Navy frogmen.
In the tv series SEA HUNT, Lloyd Bridges played former Navy frogman Mike Nelson.
In the Ray Harryhausen monster movie IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, Kenneth Tobey played Commander Pete Mathews, commander of an atomic-powered submarine (in reality, the diesel-powered USS Cubera), that was captured by a giant octopus that was attacking San Francisco. Mathews donned frogman gear and an explosive to detonate in the octopus in order to free the submarine.
