- He took a sabbatical from acting in 2003 to study medicine. He graduated from medical school in 2010.
- A Shakespearean actor, he received a scholarship to study at Juilliard. He turned down the offer to care for his ailing mother.
- In 1994 he was given a "Courageous Citizens Award" by L.A. District Attorney Gil Garcetti for saving the life of a shooting victim.
- On November 20, 2007, he helped director/producer Penny Marshall, Reachback LA and the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation hand out five-star dinners to nearly 600 at-risk youth and their families in Watts, CA.
- Grand continues to mourn the passing of his best friend, writer/producer Nicholas Corea. Their relationship began with The Incredible Hulk (1978). Grand played a bad guy and still laughs at the memory of his mother, Essie, rooting for the Hulk as it ripped her son's character to shreds. Nick brought Grand along with him on quite a few projects, including The Renegades (1982), opposite Patrick Swayze; Airwolf (1984) opposite Jan-Michael Vincent; Outlaws (1986) opposite Rod Taylor; and Renegade (1992) opposite Lorenzo Lamas. While Nick was dying of cancer in 1999, he wrote for Grand Brothers in Arms (1999), an installment that is still considered to be one of the best episodes of that series. Grand and his wife, Sharon Dahlonega, watched the broadcast privately with Nick's widow, Pheny.
- Nothing in this world can take the place of devotion. Talent won't. Genius can't. Drive, determination, a gentle heart and the will to conquer the odds are some powerful forces.
