The Legend of Spud Murphy is part of a series called "Eoin Colfer's legend of ...", written by the Irish author Eoin Colfer ( /ˈoʊ.ɨn/ OH-in; born 14 May 1965), author of the best-selling series Artemis Fowl.
The film was later referenced in the Glee episode A Night of Neglect, when Santana (Naya Rivera) says to Karofsky (Max Adler), "Two choices: you stay here and I crack one of your nuts, right or left, that's your choice . . .", which actor Chris Colfer (who played Russel Fish) currently stars in.
Lauren Colfer from Catford beat Daisy Hill and Nadine Kennedy in the public vote.
Colfer said in an interview with Piers Morgan that the twins in his novel are based on himself, because he is a Gemini.
