Character history
Pinchot was first approached by producers Tom Miller and Robert Boyett to play the role of an immigrant to the United States in a show tentatively titled "The Greenhorn". He initially refused, not wanting to play another character similar to "Serge"— his role in Beverly Hills Cop, who also has an unusual accent. He reconsidered after returning from a trip to Greece and decided to base the character and the fictional island of Mypos on the people he encountered in the Greek villages.[1] Pinchot came up with the name Balki, after his sister's dog named "Balcony" - "Balcy" for short.[1
