"Every one I played, the producers said ‘No, no, no, that’s not April,’ and finally I was out of people to show them, so I pulled your audition out and played it for them and they said ‘That’s April!’" —Stu Rosen She developed her initial personification of O'Neil after reading the description in the casting material, not the comics themselves." "There was a very good character description of her, so I looked at that and I kind of built her based on me. I felt that she should be a very strong character with very good convictions, she should be a loyal friend; she should be serious about her work and she wanted to be taken seriously, not just looked at as another pretty face." —Jacobs It was also the first role she was awarded that wasn't a "crazy little made up fantasy character." In the 2012 TV series, Renae Jacobs provided the voice of Mrs. O'Neil and Mom-Thing.
