The job was the role of Peter Caine in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues (KF:TLC). Peter Caine is the son of Shaolin priest Kwai Chang Caine and great-grandson of the Kwai Chang Caine of the original 1970's series, Kung Fu. After an attack on the temple where they live, Peter and Kwai Chang each believes the other dead. Peter is sent to an orphanage, where he is eventually placed in the foster home of Police Captain Paul Blaisdell, and Kwai Chang begins wandering the land. Years later they are reunited and begin rediscovering their relationship while helping others. As Potter explained in the Glidden interview, "The father and son relationship draws most people. (There's a) huge audience who are not watching the show for the fighting."

Potter had watched the original series. "Yeah, when I was a kid, my brother and I used to watch the original show all the time," he said in a interview with Inside Kung Fu writer Dwight Brown. "I loved the character Caine. I loved the way he spoke, the way he handled everything, and I loved the fights. If somebody had said to me back then, 'One day you're going to be the next Grasshopper, I would have said, 'Get out of here!' Cause at that time I wanted to be a hockey player."

The role required Potter to learn martial arts. As he explained to Brown, "They were looking for an actor who could be trained in the martial arts. I have no martial arts background at all. I'm just one of the toughest hockey fighters in Canada [laughter]." Potter added, "So I'm [only] a student. But when you have to work on one specific technique, like a spinning back kick, and that's all you have to work on -- and if you're a good athlete -- you can pull it off."
