For Highlander (1986), he said that he made a life-long friend in Bob Anderson, the sword-master for that film as well as the Star Wars trilogy. Clancy said if he hadn't been an actor he would have been (in order) a fireman, an aristocrat, an archaeologist/anthropologist, a scuba diver, and a circus acrobat. "Earth 2" (1994) was shot in New Mexico.

On August 20 2002, Clancy Brown was named chairman of the board of Brown Publishing, a newspaper company owned by his family. He has been a board member since 1987.

Was hospitalized after becoming sick from the prosthetic make-up he wore as Viktor in "The Bride". He was reluctant to don prostethics for his role in "Highlander".

Claims to have been introduced to acting by a neighbor who got him into William Shakespeare at a young age.

Describes himself as an avid reader who particularly enjoys the works of Frank Herbert.

Although his character Rawhide dies in "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" (1984), Brown is still under contract to appear in a sequel to the film.

Due to his role of Kurgan in 'Highlander', his voice was featured on the Queen song "Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's Theme)". An alternate version appeared in the film itself, but samples of his voice are included on the 1986 studio album 'A Kind Of Magic'.
