- His Southern accent
- Said in an interview that if he ever met the writers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988) he would "kick [their] asses" for their grilling of Mitchell (1975). This did not stop them from sending up another one of Baker's films, Final Justice (1985), in which they ridicule him even more. Baker later said the threat was a joke.
- Along with Charles Gray, who played both Dikko Henderson in On ne vit que deux fois (1967) and 'Ernst Stavro Blofeld' in Les diamants sont éternels (1971), Baker is one of only two actors to play both a major Bond nemesis, Brad Whitaker in Tuer n'est pas jouer (1987), and a significant Bond ally, Jack Wade in L'oeil de feu (1995) and Demain ne meurt jamais (1997).
- While Carroll O'Connor was recovering from bypass surgery, Baker appeared in O'Connor's place on In the Heat of the Night (1988) as Tom Dugan.
- He appeared in three films with Pierce Brosnan in as many years: L'oeil de feu (1995), Mars attaque! (1996) and Demain ne meurt jamais (1997).
- Graduated from North Texas State (now known as the University of North Texas).
- [on working with Sam Peckinpah in Junior Bonner (1972)] I didn't care for Peckinpah at all. He was one of those little guys who tries to bully big guys and he almost got his ass whipped for trying to do it to me. Every time I was going to throttle Peckinpah, Steve McQueen would come over and calm me down like a brother would.
