Answer:

Kawasaki and Mitsubishi both manufactured Kamikaze planes with bomb tips for the Japanese government during WWII. There were several other companies that also manufactured Kamikaze planes, but the others did not become multinational companies.
Did you hear the one about the Jewish Kamikaze pilot who crashed his plane into his brother's scrap yard?

He was brought in to replace an actor who dropped out and the script that was faxed to him didnt make sense as the first page was missing.

Sean Connery initially turned down the role since he figured that his drinking buddy Karl Maria Brandauer (Never Say Never Again) would be a better fit. But the Austrian actor broke his leg in a skiing accident and asked Connery to take his place.

Sean Connery thought the script for The Hunt for Red October was to far fetched and refused to do it because he thought it was not a realistic plot. He reconsidered when he was told the story was partly based on an actual historic event of a Russian submarine crew wanting to defect and turn their sub over to the Americans.

Brill, stop licking your lips like that! You are making me nervous.

A later TV series had an actor that took on the Reverend Jim persona, but was told mid way in the first season of that show to stop because he was stealing the character from Taxi. Name that Show and the character in the show.
