- Known for his ability to mimic various foreign accents
- Born of humble surroundings, he claims he left school at age 14 to escape beatings by his teachers who tried to force the left handed student to write with his right hand.
- His friend and co-author of his autobiography, Robert E. Wood, said: "Little old ladies would come up to him in airports and whack at him with their purses, shouting, 'Why didn't you leave that man alone?".
- The final broadcast of El fugitivo (1963) made TV history. It was seen by more than 72% of viewers, a record that stood untouched until "Dallas" and the J.R. shooting some 13 years later.
- Read Victor Hugo's Les Miserables when he was told that it had inspired The Fugitive. This helped him model his portrayal of Lt. Gerard after his inspiration, Inspector Javert.
- Following his debut in the classic television series El fugitivo (1963) as Lt. Gerard - the relentless pursuer of the falsely accused Dr. Richard Kimble - he was given the moniker "The most hated man in America."
- The whole of my career, such as it has been, has been an attempt to explore and enlarge whatever natural gifts I may have, and by the day-to-day practice of those natural gifts, to try to expand and polish them. I like investigating and, if possible, creating, or least examining, all sorts of human characteristics. To that extent, my favorite role is always the next one.
- Of his role as "Lt. Gerard" on TV's El fugitivo (1963): I grew very used to having elderly ladies thrash at me with their handbags and say 'You rotten mean man! Why don't you leave that nice doctor alone?'.
- [on live radio drama] Sometimes you had to die more slowly or more quickly, depending on how much time was left.
