"NUMB3RS"

2005

Well this was not a success for me. I did the filming in downtown Boston but I

ended up on the cutting room floor. I got paid in full so it was not a total loss.

Great experience!

 

  • The season one theme music (which on DVD can only be found on the pilot) is an arrangement of an excerpt from the song "Once In A Lifetime" by the Talking Heads .
  • Navi Rawat 's character is named "Amita Ramanujan", a reference to Srinivasa Ramanujan, a self-taught Indian mathematician who worked in the first two decades of the 20th century, most notably collaborating with G.H. Hardy in number theory.
  • The show's original concept had it take place at MIT rather than CalTech. At that time the character of Don was to be played by Gabriel Macht . While 'David Krumholtz' was already cast as Charlie, other actors cast at that stage of the production included Michael Rooker and Anna Deavere Smith .
  • The university Cal Sci is modeled on the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, developing characters loosely based on a Caltech professor and students. Portions of the series have been filmed on the Caltech campus. Gary Lorden, the chairman of the math department at Caltech, consults for the show. The pilot episode was screened at Caltech as well, receiving a standing ovation at the end.
