He was a founding member, along with actor Orson Bean, of the Sons of the Desert, the international fan club dedicated to celebrating Laurel and Hardy.

"I did everything," McCann told TVParty.com in a 2007 interview.

"I never closed doors. If you look at my career, if I had one, I never think of it as a career, I just look at it as things I love to do. I have just as much fun doing a 30-second commercial as I do making a movie," he had said.
