- Often compared to Rex Harrison, Mulhare had his two greatest US successes inheriting roles that Harrison created. On Broadway, Mulhare succeeded Harrison as Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" when the latter joined the London company, playing the part for most of the play's remaining Broadway run. On television, Mulhare played the role of the ghost of Captain Daniel Gregg in the TV version of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", a role Harrison had created two decades earlier in the film version.
- Mulhare was offered a cameo role in the 1997 release Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. The story and plot elements of Austin Powers was largely plagiarized directly from the 1960s' spy spoof Our Man Flint, where Mulhare played the villain. Sadly, Mulhare's failing health did not allow him to participate.
- Long considered a "ladies' man"; however, he never married or had any children.
- His two best-known roles in the U.S. are the TV series "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" opposite Hope Lange, and "Knight Rider" opposite David Hasselhoff. In fact, Edward Mulhare's last role was reuniting with David Hasselhoff on the "Baywatch" spinoff "Baywatch Nights".
