Stepped in for an ailing Whoopi Goldberg, at the last minute, as emcee/host for the 2001 BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards honoring Steven Spielberg. The award was presented by H.R.H. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of York.

His character Professor Crumbs from Os Feiticeiros de Waverly Place (2007) was a reference to Albus Dumbledore from Harry Potter film series. Richard Harris who played Dumbledore in two first parts of Harry Potter film series died 9 days before "Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets" (2002) premiered; Abercrombie died 19 days after the last episode of Wizards of Waverly Place aired.

Shared two roles with Clive Revill. Revill was the voice of "Alfred Pennyworth" in early episodes of Batman: A Série Animada (1992), a role Abercrombie played in Aves de Rapina (2002). Revill was also the first actor to play "Palpatine", in Star Wars: Episódio V - O Império Contra-Ataca (1980). Abercrombie voiced the character in the animated, Star Wars: A Guerra dos Clones (2008) series.

His voice was dubbed over Jeremy Kemp in the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Family" where Kemp played Picard's Brother Robert Picard.

Cousin of John Abercrombie, Jazz Guitarist, ECM Recording Star.

Served on the Board of Directors of BAFTA-LA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and on the Western Board of The Actor's Fund of America.
