Roy has an identical twin brother Roger.

Whilst editing 'Come Back Little Sheba', a Granada TV production directed by Silvio Narizzano for the Laurence Olivier Presents series in 1977, Sir Larry would often drop into Soho to catch up with the edit. One day he joined Roy Beck and his edit team for lunch at the Pizza Express restaurant in Wardour Street. They were already seated in the huge round window facing out onto Carlisle Street. On his arrival he noticed them in the window and came over and proceeded to give a fabulous impression of a goldfish with fully pouting lips for a good 15 seconds before joining them for lunch. He said they looked like they were sitting in a goldfish bowl.
