Troy McClure was named after Doug McClure and Troy Donahue. Doug McClure has stated he considers it an honor to have the character named after him.

Tro McClure does have that 'Trampas' swagger.

Doug McClure was a terrific action star of TV and some movies in the '60s and '70s. Unfortunately underrated and not remembered much today.
