- On January 10, 2000, he was arrested and booked for drunk driving following a non-injury accident in Hollywood.

- Bore a strong resemblance to Colonel Oliver North's lawyer during the Iran-Contra hearings. Wright and the ALF puppet did a short made-for-TV spoof of the Senate Commitee hearings.

- Was nominated for Broadway's 1998 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Play) for "Ivanov."
