Performs many of his stunts himself. Is a big fan of Elvis Presley, Patrick Rondat and Tom Robinson. In his audio commentary for "The Thing" (1982), he joked with director John Carpenter about the scene where he threw a stick of dynamite at the character Palmer (who was turning into the Thing) and how the explosion was more powerful than he had expected.
