Damon Dark was the first television to feature Niobe Dean. Although famous on the Internet for her starring role in Broken Allegiance, the actress later became a professional within the industry, most famously appearing as Sally Kirk in Neighbours. Niobe Dean is a cult figure with science fiction fans who know of her films due to her onscreen sex appeal. Another Neighbours luminary to appear was Andrew Dunn, an actor who had also appeared in the movie Chopper. Both appeared in the Damon Dark serial "Maddox", Andrew Dunn taking on the role of Simon Maddox, the main villain.

A third actor with professional credits was Chris Heaven, who expanded his cameo into his own spin-off series.

Although Adrian Sherlock directed two of the original three stories himself, the second, "Maddox", was directed by Karl Siemon, who has since gone on to become a professional cinematographer with five movies to his credit including Radio Samurai, The Razor Eaters and Hotel Motel.

Cult American actorEd Bishop was also due to be involved with the series during its early inception, as detailed further in "Unmade Episodes".

Adrian Sherlock himself has been a professional in the acting business for many years, appearing uncredited in ABC TV's award-winning Boy Soldiers (1990) and his own stage show Naked in the Fernery in 2007. He's also appeared in uncredited featured roles in TV commercials and a short-lived ABC TV legal drama called Inside Running (1989) where he played the Clerk of the Court. Adrian has also had a long association with local theatre in his home town of Geelong, notably with Geelong Repertory and its Woodbin Theatre, appearing in many plays, including his own original productions such as Naked in the Fernery.
