- Wavy red hair and bold blue eyes
- Deep smooth voice
- His mastery of foreign accents - he has played Russian, Italian, Arabian, Chinese, American, Irish and Australian characters in different films.
- Has the distinction of being the last murderer Lt. Columbo investigates in the final episode of the original Columbo (1971) series in 1978.
- 24 years after the original release of Star Wars: Episode V - Das Imperium schlägt zurück (1980) - the 2004 "Special Edition" direct-to-DVD re-release - the holographic performance of Emperor Palpatine (which Revill provided the voice for) was deleted and replaced by the face and voice of Ian McDiarmid, who has played the role in all subsequent Star Wars movies. However, Revill still remained credited in the edition.
- He replaced George Sanders at the very last minute in the 1967 musical "Sherry" on Broadway which was a musical version of "The Man Who Came to Dinner". The show was a flop.
- Was twice nominated for Broadway's Tony Awards: in 1961, as Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical) for "Irma La Douce", and in 1963, as Best Actor (Musical) for "Oliver!".
- One of only five actors to appear in both a Star Trek series and a Star Wars film, along with Jason Wingreen, Phil Fondacaro, Felix Silla and more recently Simon Pegg. He supplied the voice of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: Episode V - Das Imperium schlägt zurück (1980) and played Sir Guy of Gisborne in the Raumschiff Enterprise: Das nächste Jahrhundert (1987) episode "Qpid".
- [on Star Wars fans at sci-fi conventions]: They come up to me and I tell them to get close and shut their eyes. Then I say (in the Emperor's haunting voice), 'There is a great disturbance in the Force.' People turn white, and one nearly fainted!
- [on Ian McDiarmid replacing his emperor in the 2004 edition of 'Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back']: I was the original Emperor, but they wanted continuity with the later movies. They made a good choice with McDiarmid.
- [on playing the final murderer on the 1970s 'Columbo' series] It was the last episode Peter Falk did in the original Columbo series, But there was no sense of regret on the set that the show was ending. Peter and I had a lot of creative fun interacting with each other's characters.
- The first film I vividly remember working on is 'Modesty Blaise'. I got the makeup man to transform me into an Arab, then marched over to (director) Joseph Losey who was drinking in his hotel room. The makeup and my accent were so good, he didn't recognize me until I said 'Joe, it's Clive' and he almost dropped his drink. So I ended up with the two roles.
