Craig J. Nevius mistakenly assigned to the same dorm room as an extroverted actress played by Helen Slater. "Happy Together" is notable for featuring Brad Pitt (pre-"Thelma & Louise") in his first film role. Pitt was cast by Nevius when the producer and director could not decide between Pitt and another unknown actor. After "Happy Together", Nevius began working with the noted low-budget producer and director Roger Corman. While working for Corman, Nevius also began a second career as a producer. He wrote and produced in several genres ranging from suspense thriller (Ladykiller (1996) starring Ben Gazzara and "Death's Door" starring David Carradine)
