The role of Cher's father Mel, the part Dan Hedaya originated in the film, was portrayed by Michael Lerner and was again recast with Doug Sheehan by the beginning of the show's second season on the air.

Go do your thing.” But he never told me [earlier] that he was up for the role. I didn’t find out he was up for the role until after my final audition in New York, when I was about to go to L.A.
