- By all accounts he was just the sort of person he played on Le Club Mickey (1955)- decent, caring, deeply religious, and very much concerned for children and their welfare. All of the original Mouseketeers loved him, a love that was reciprocated, and all continue to speak well of him to this day.
- After some fifteen years of (largely uncredited) acting in movies, he finally found his niche, and an irreplaceable place in the hearts of America's Baby Boomers, as the moralistic, guitar-strumming, avuncular host of the original Le Club Mickey (1955).
- A talented guitarist and musician, he was originally hired by Walt Disney as a music writer. He went on write/compose "The Mickey Mouse Club March" and all the daily opening songs that accompanied it on the show.
- Early on played sidekick Lullaby Joslin in the popular 'Three Mesquiteers' film series.
- "Why? Because we like you!" -- Jimmie's familiar saying at the end of every Mousketeer show.
