- Coincidentally, he died at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital, which bears the same name as his most famous role.
- Taught drama at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta Georgia from 1996 until his death.
- Although he had not disappeared, nor was he hiding, when in 1996 the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show wished to use him in a sketch and were unable to locate him or his agent, the show launched a three-week nationwide "Where's Grady" search. The search's hotline received over 50,000 calls of sightings. Mayo eventually did surface and gladly appeared on the show.
- Was the owner of a travel agency in Inglewood, California.
- Friends with Redd Foxx, and Marla Gibbs.
- I've always played older parts. When I was 19, I played 60. When I was a kid I got pleasure out of studying old people. I took joy in their idiosyncrasies. Older folk are like children. They can do and say what they want and get away with it.
