Bean has odd interests and knowledge of arcane subject matter. In particular, he:

- Loves the Post Office

- Owns many undeveloped websites, including one pertaining to the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, an American ship that famously sank in the Canadian waters of Lake Superior in 1975. Bean is obsessed with both the ship and the Gordon Lightfoot hit song about it.

- Is obsessed with Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered the dwarf planet Pluto. 

- Claims to have few if any memories from childhood.

- Is fascinated by "jet packs" and longs to own one someday.

- Although Bean has yet to put up a personal website, he does have a blog. Once in a while the show has a segment where the cast reads Bean's blog entries.

- Lives in a pink house on Vashon Island, near Seattle, where he raises a host of farm animals including cows, pigs, sheep, and donkeys as family pets.

- Is married to Donna H. (Mendivil) Baxter, who was the island's mayor, and also a noted fashion designer.

- Has a cell phone that rings with the theme song from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

- Was born and raised in England. As he puts it, he was born in Middlesex, didn't know if he'd be a boy or a girl. Baxter does not, however, speak with an English Accent.

- Longs to serve on a jury and is frustrated to hear callers complain about receiving summons. Finally chosen to serve on a jury , he served in January '08.

- Is a huge Fanilow, that is, a huge Barry Manilow fan.

- Supports the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks, especially when they play teams from L.A. or the favorite teams of other members of the show.
