- Has often played odd, slightly off-kilter characters
- Was a gymnast at North Hollywood High School. A buoyant dancer and tumbler, Tamblyn began acting in films in 1948. His abilities as an acrobat and gymnast led to his being cast in such spectacular and dynamic dance films as 7 spose per 7 fratelli (1954), Le meravigliose avventure di Pollicino (1958), and West Side Story (1961) among others.
- In 1997, he made a one-shot guest appearance on General Hospital (1963) in a song-and-dance sketch that featured his daughter, Amber Tamblyn.
- Originally auditioned for the part of "Tony" in West Side Story (1961), but was cast as "Riff" instead, while the part of "Tony" went to Richard Beymer.
- Godfather of his daughter Amber Tamblyn is Dean Stockwell.
- His standout dance sequence while performing the role of Eric in La pistola sepolta (1956) duplicated some of his dance moves from 7 spose per 7 fratelli (1954) and, in fact, added some athletics that went beyond those original moves.
- [on his performance as "Riff" in West Side Story (1961)] Life is so strange. "West Side Story" was one of the high points of my career. Yet, when I first saw it, I was really disappointed in how I came off. Since then, Fred Astaire has told me how much he admired my dancing in it. Now I see it very differently.
