- Mark Hamill's family knew him as "Uncle Richard".
- Appeared in the film Entre pillos anda el juego (1983) with fellow "Muppet" colleague Frank Oz (puppeteer of Miss Piggy).
- Famous behind such "Muppets" as 'Scooter', 'Janice', 'Statler', 'Sweetums', and 'Junior Gorg' from Los fráguel (1983).
- He was cremated at Neptune Society in Paramus, New Jersey after his family had a private funeral for him in its crematory. Some of his ashes were sprinkled over the flower beds at the Hunt Family home in Closter, New Jersey.
- His mother Jane Hunt made a cameo appearance in Los Teleñecos conquistan Manhattan (1984).
- [on how he switched from working at a news studio to working as a puppeteer] Four months of it was all I could take, I decided to make a career of resting. I quit, went home and watched more Muppets. Then one day I thought, 'Hey, why don't I try to get with them?'
- [Upon describing his earlier job of preparing weather reports on the radio] My qualifications for it were absolutely zilch. I used to stick my hand out the window, feel what was going on out there, and write the report.
- [on what he contributes to his vitality] Two things: heredity, which I got free, and orange juice, which I buy by the gallon. No three things. Being with the Muppets helps too.
