- Deep, rich voice
- Inquisitive demeanor, was often cast as writers and/or reporters
- At the age of 10 he learned conjuring tricks from his neighbor, Harry Houdini.
- In an interview, director Don Siegel recalled that during the production of Avventura in Cina (1953), he noticed that O'Brien was spending more and more time in his trailer before a scene, and was beginning to arrive late for shooting, which he had never done before. Suspecting that O'Brien might be secretly drinking before he went on camera--an experience Siegel had undergone with several well-known actors he had worked with--the director peeked through the windows of O'Brien's trailer one day and was surprised to see a young man reading O'Brien's lines to him. It turned out that O'Brien's eyesight and memory were beginning to fail him, he didn't want the studio to find out and fire him, so he had his assistant read him his lines and stage directions immediately before he was to shoot a scene so he wouldn't forget them on-camera.
- Was cast in Black Christmas (Un Natale rosso sangue) (1974) as Lt. Kenneth Fuller, but the part was re-cast with John Saxon because of O'Brien's poor health. He was rumored to be suffering from Alzheimers.
- Served with the US Army Air Force in World War II.
- Versatility is a dangerous thing. It's very satisfying to portray many types of roles, but often your own identity gets lost. Seldom does a producer say, "This is an Eddie O'Brien part." On the other hand, while the rewards may be great in fame and financially for stars, the work becomes monotonous. No actor who plays himself is a happy person.
