Trivia
Said in an interview that he keeps the Jason Voorhees tombstone from Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986) in his backyard, and people have often mistaken it for an actual tombstone. One such misconception occurred when the meter man refused to go into Tom's backyard and read the gas meter because he thought there was actually somebody buried there.

Quotes
[on why he didn't cast himself as Jason Voorhees in "Friday the 13th 6", which McLoughlin wrote and directed] At Dark Delicacies in Burbank, I tripped over a fan who recognized me as S.T.A.R. from "The Black Hole". According to him, I did such a fine job in that one, I should have portrayed Jason seven years later. But Paramount wanted somebody taller than me, and *much* more imposing. So they went with C.J. Graham.
