The character was only intended to be seen in WOTG, where he was intended to die, however he impressed [[Glen Larson]] enough for that decision to be reversed.

The play, in Stauffer's words, was "a very dark drama centered around the question of which evil is greater: a terrorist who will go to any length to accomplish his goal, or the ambitious reporter who will do anything to get the story, because she sees it as her ticket to prime time".
