  • Provided the voice of Cogsworth the clock in Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991). His advice to the Beast on what to give Belle, "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep..." was his own creation.
  • Has a son from a relationship in the 1960s.
  • He is often given small roles in Woody Allen films for which he receives high billing considering his screen time.
  • Provided several other voices for Disney: Gov. Ratcliffe & Wiggins in Pocahontas (1995) and Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998) (V); narrator in Beauty and the Beast (1991); and the Archdeacon in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996).
  • Played French horn in the orchestra at Julliard, which is rather more amusing considering an episode of "M*A*S*H" (1972) where he bothers Hawkeye and B.J. with persistent bad horn playing.
