- Starred in NIL BY MOUTH (Directed by Gary Oldman) and THE WAR ZONE (directed by Tim Roth). Tim Roth and Gary Oldman are good friends and these happen to be directorial debuts for both of them.
- The Robin of Sherwood International fanclub can be reached by sending a SASE or IRC to Spirit of Sherwood, 1276 W. Marshall, Ferndale, Michigan 48220, USA or email ChrisRHood@aol.com
- Recently turned down a considerable amount of money to star in a big-budget police drama in the US because he didn't want to drag his family over to Baltimore for seven months of the year for five years - and he didn't want one-year-old Ellie to grow up with an American accent.
- Is currently learning to ride a horse.
- Ray and the late Robert Addie, with whom he starred on the TV Series Robin of Sherwood (1984), have both starred in movies about KING ARTHUR. Robert Addie played Mordred in John Boorman's EXCALIBUR (1981) and Ray plays Sir Bors in Antoine Fuqua's King Arthur (2004).

- Made a voice appearance in a TV series based on Ghostbusters. In the original Ghostbusters there is two characters, named Ray and Winston.
- Met his wife, Elaine, while filming That Summer in 1979.
- Was bankrupted by the Inland Revenue before his marriage, and again soon afterwards, but his near-religious refusal to worry saw him through, as it would his occasional run-ins with the police. While returning from filming an episode of Bergerac on Jersey, he was stopped on suspicion of gun-running. And, a couple of years after that, he spent 72 hours in a Leeds jail cell, having been identified by a member of the public who'd seen an identikit picture of a criminal on Crimewatch UK.
- Is a huge fan of crooners, as well as Motown, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Paul Weller, Madness, and Ian Dury.
