| 1 | Appeared in five films that were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: From Here to Eternity (1953), 12 Angry Men (1957), All the President's Men (1976), Heaven Can Wait (1978), The Verdict (1982). Of those, From Here to Eternity (1953) is a winner in the category. |
| 2 | Was the original Cpl. Steve Henshaw in the unaired pilot of The Phil Silvers show, Sgt. Bilko. |
| 3 | Parents are John Warden Lebzelter and Laura M. Costello. |
| 4 | Jack's father was of German and Irish ancestry, and Jack's mother was of Irish ancestry. Jack's paternal grandfather, Phillip Lebzelter, was the son of German immigrants, Johann Wilhelm Lebzelter and Martha Ackerman. Jack's three other grandparents (paternal grandmother Catherine O'Brien, and maternal grandparents Edward F. Costello and Mary H. McGrath) were all of Irish origin. |
| 5 | Acting mentor and friends with Robert Hooks, Jeff Rubinstein and Penny Peyser. |
| 6 | Best remembered by the public for his starring role as Lt. Mike Haines on N.Y.P.D. (1967). |
| 7 | He and Gilbert Gottfried are the only two actors to appear in all three Problem Child films. Unlike Gottfried, Warden did not participate in the animated series. |
| 8 | Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Actors Branch). |
| 9 | Separated from wife Wanda Ottoni some time in the mid 1970s. However, they never got divorced and were still legally married at the time of his death. |
| 10 | Fought in the Battle of the Bulge during World War II. |
| 11 | He served in the United States Navy from 1938-1941 then joined the Merchant Marine as water tender in the engine room but disliked convoy duty because of Axis aircraft attacks and his location three decks below the main deck -- this, as he says, ended his "romance with the life of a sailor". He left the Merchant Marine in 1942, joined the United States Army and became a platoon sergeant and parachute jump master in the 101st Airborne. While hospitalized with a leg injury sustained in a jump, Warden read a play written by Clifford Odets and decided to become an actor. |
| 12 | Fought on the same card as Charles Durning in Madison Square Garden. |
| 13 | Boxed as a welterweight under the name "Johnny Costello" in his youth. |
| 14 | Moved to Louisville, Kentucky, as a youth to live with his grandparents. He graduated from DuPont Manual High School in Louisville. |
