- He once went on a date with Norma Jean Baker, later to become Marilyn Monroe.
- He is the only actor to appear in both A Máquina do Tempo (1960) and A Máquina do Tempo (2002).
- He was 40 years old when he played the 18-year-old James Filby in A Máquina do Tempo (1960).
- Had his first name legally changed from Angus to Alan when he was age 20. According to his autobiography, "Mister Ed and Me and More!" (2007), he was proud of his birth name but Americans always made unflattering comments about it, such as mispronouncing it "Agnes," which prompted him to change it legally.
- His body was buried at sea.
- [When Connie Hines was hired to play his wife, Carol]: She was perfect for it, and is so dear. She didn't have many lines beyond 'Dinner is ready' or 'I'll make some coffee.' They were just simple lines but she did them beautifully.
- When I was young I was paid $3 for doing a short monologue. That impressed my dad who earned the same amount for working all day in a shipyard at the time. He told me to 'Keep up this talking business because lips don't sweat.' It was good advice.
- [While he spoke of Ed Wynn (I)']: Ed Wynn was a wonderful old comedian, gave me good advice. He said 'Make it simple. You're going into someone's home, so don't be insulting.'
- Ed [the horse] actually learned to move his lips when the trainer touched his hoof. In fact he soon learned to do it when I stopped talking during a scene, which actually could be a bit of a problem.
- A dear old man once told me that birthdays are a heavy weight to carry all your life. So I actually stopped counting birthdays when I was sixteen.
