- During development, a cutout of his face was sometimes used as a placeholder for props that the animators did not have yet. The first time this was used was in Winter Schnee's Glyphs and later when Qrow Branwen was drinking from his flask with Kerry's face replacing the flask with it eventually becoming a joke.[7]
- Kerry has stated that he wants to do a show with all of the Old RWBY Characters like Maria Calavera and Pietro Polendina.[8]
