- Short stature
- Claims that after doing Revenge of the Nerds (1984), every day of his life someone recognizes him as Booger (although he says this does not bother him in the least).
- Is an expert on the work of singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson.
- Attended and graduated from Berkley High School in Berkley, Michigan (1972).
- Best known for his famous line in Risky Business (1983): "Sometimes, you just gotta say, WTF!".
- After high school, he auditioned for, attended and graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Art (in Rochester, Michigan), which is also the alma mater of Robert Englund, Richard Riehle and Jayne Houdyshell.
- I like people who try to do big things.
- I was going to middle school in Berkley, and I did not fit in at all. Like a lot of kids, I found theater to be a good place for me.
- I try to work and enjoy life, and that's about all.
- As an actor I'm part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies. There's always the little guy who's the sidekick to the tall, good-looking guy who gets the girl.
- Without a plan, there's no attack. Without attack, no victory.
