- He and his first wife Betty Vaughan were good friends with Bing and Lou Russel, Kurt Russel's parents, and his 3 daughters many times were left with the Russels while the adults went out.
- He worked with Richard Harris on "A man called horse" and when Richard recorded his album McArthurs' Park, they both stayed up singing it until the wee hours of the morning.
- He was filming in the front of a speed boat ducking to not be seen on camera and peeking out a hole when he saw a stuntman fall in the boat ahead and the blades of the motor slicing him. He immediately jumped into the freezing bay and screaming for the man to hold on swam like crazy to save him. He forgot he had a parka on and when asked how he did it he shyly said "I didn't think at all, just jumped! That darn parka almost drowned me! The stuntman nearly lost his life, losing his spleen and was critically wounded.
