Has appeared in more John Hughes movies than any other actor. He's starred and cameoed (brief appearances) in a total of seven of Hughes' films. Starting with National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) costarring Steve Martin, The Great Outdoors (1988) costarring Dan Aykroyd; appears in a small cameo in She's Having a Baby (1988).

Has a brief cameo in Career Opportunities (1991) and a bit part alongside "Second City TV" (1976) alumni and best friend Catherine O'Hara in Home Alone (1990), also starring Macaulay Culkin.
Was supposed to host "Saturday Night Live" (1975) with Eugene Levy in 1985 (he, Levy and Billy Crystal did a promo for it on SNL the week before it was supposed to happen), but that episode never happened, due to a writer's strike shortly after the promo was aired.
Was a good friend of Wayne Gretzky and was co-owner of the Toronto Argonauts with him.
He played a member of law enforcement in at least 10 movies; It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975), The Clown Murders (1976), Find the Lady (1976), The Blues Brothers (1980), Heavy Metal (1981), Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird (1985), Armed and Dangerous (1986) (although his character was a security guard for most of the film, he was wrongfully terminated as a police officer in the beginning of the movie), Only the Lonely (1991), Nothing But Trouble (1991), Canadian Bacon (1995). This does not include Vacation (1983), in which he played a rent-a-cop or Who's Harry Crumb? (1989) wherein he played a private investigator.
Was a part-owner of the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL with Bruce McNall and Wayne Gretzky. The group signed Raghib Ismail on the first day of the 1991 NFL draft, where he was projected the #1 overall pick.
House near Newmarket, Ontario, Canada was just several blocks from the residence of fellow, Canadian comedian Jim Carrey.
He turned down Wayne Szlaniski in Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989) and Louis Tully in Ghostbusters (1984) because he felt his good friend Rick Moranis was better suited for the parts.
