- His favorite career memories included working with cartoonist Tex Avery and watching the making of Singin' in the Rain (1952).
- He is the father of director Valerie Faris.
- He originally planned to become a lawyer. He quit his night-school law classes to move to Los Angeles in 1943, and began his editing career at MGM. He worked mostly in TV because of the fast pace -- a TV episode was edited in a week, while it might take an entire year to edit a movie.
- He met his future wife when both were working on "Tom and Jerry" cartoons.
