- Geer had a degree in horticulture and later became a vegetarian. He had the unusual hobby of raising all the plants mentioned in the works of Shakespeare.
- Claimed that he was cast as "Slim" in the Broadway play version of John Steinbeck's "Von Mäusen und Menschen (1939)" by Steinbeck himself because he showed up to the audition in bluejeans and Steinbeck thought he looked the part. Steinbeck was sitting outside the stage door on a chair when he made the decision as Geer filed past him.
- Member of Lambda Chi Alpha.
- Changed his last name from Ghere to Geer because it was simpler to spell.
- Was a member of Orson Welles' and John Houseman's Project 891 theatre company, sponsored by the Federal Theatre Project.
- For well over half a century I have never gone a day without getting acquainted with some other person, and in those times I've only had my face slapped once and been called a few names.
- I'm a lifelong agitator, a radical. A rebel is just against things for rebellion's sake. By radical, I mean someone who goes to the roots.
