- He would express frustration when fans asking for autographs would only seem to remember him falling backwards down the stairway in Psicose (1960). He felt there were so many other challenging roles he would rather be remembered for. Always charming, he simply smiled and provided the signature, just the same.
- Made his film debut in the Actors Studio-dominated film Sindicato de Ladrões (1954).
- He was the first to record the voice of the computer HAL-9000 in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: Uma Odisséia no Espaço (1968), but was passed over in favor of Douglas Rain because Kubrick thought that Balsam's voice sounded "too colloquially American" for HAL.
- He made guest appearances on both Além da Imaginação (1959) and Além da Imaginação (1985).
- Appears to have died of natural causes. A maid found him lying on the floor near his bed in the upscale Residenza Di Ripetta while he was vacationing in Italy.
- I'll tell you, I still don't feel whatever change you're supposed to feel when your name goes up above the title. I think that's because this star thing has never been the first consideration with me. Never. The work has always come first.
- I think the average guy has always identified with me.
- The supporting role is always potentially the most interesting in a film.
- [on playing Mr. Green in O Sequestro do Metrô (1974)] I have always wanted to get away from playing Mr. Nice Guy. I loathe nice guys because I am one, but let's face it, there's a lot of nastiness in me.
