- Plays cello in the song Place Your Hand from Melissa Etheridge's 1992 album Never Enough, and in the score to Mission: Impossible III (2006).
- He got the scar on his lip from falling on a piece of glass when he was three.
- He and his oldest brother, Sean Mulroney, are owners of "The Double Door", one of Chicago's more popular music clubs.
- Mulroney's younger brother Kieran Mulroney is also an actor. The brothers starred together in the John Hughes comedy, Career Opportunities (1991) with Jennifer Connelly and Frank Whaley.
- Mulroney appeared with James Garner in the 1988 theatrical film "Sunset". Years later, Mulroney inherited Garner's famous role of private detective Jim Rockford in the 2010 TV film "The Rockford Files".
- (On Longtime Companion (1989)) I remember every second of it, from the first audition straight through to the wrap. I knew it was going to be a groundbreaking film by the time I'd read the first ten pages of Craig Lucas's script, because I'd never read anything like it before.
- (1997 - On his favorite films that he has done) I've always held Longtime Companion (1989) and Where the Day Takes You (1992) in a little higher regard than some of the more simply entertaining films I've done - they were films that had something to reveal to the world. Also, Living in Oblivion (1995) was a strange little achievement by a handful of people I really love.
