Mike Cartel, who played Candice Rialson's brother in the Pets film, assisted producer-director Raphael Nussbaum for the casting of the ingenue lead. Cartel acted in video-taped G-rated romantic scenes opposite some 20 actresses before Rialson was chosen for the part of Bonnie, and her first speaking role.
First leading role and nude scenes for Candice Rialson.
Candice Rialson said she was on the beach at Malibu when some guy told her she'd be perfect for a low-budget movie they were doing called Pets. He was the assistant cameraman. He told her to come to their office and bring some pictures. She didn't have any professional pictures, so she just brought some of her in her backyard with her dog. They gave her the part that day. They told her she'd have to do some nudity, but she had no problem with that because she's has a really European attitude in the way she looked at that kind of stuff.
