- Malcolm Jae is married and had five children with his wife, but their 3rd child passed away at the age of 26 months old due to a heart defect (Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome) and surgical complications. Their other four children are all happy and healthy. He and his family would rather others learn this organically (like finding this trivia vs having to talk about it).
- Malcolm attended LaGrange College in LaGrange GA and has a BA in Theatre Arts with a minor in Psychology.
- Malcolm is suicide survivor and advocate for those with mental illness.
- Malcolm's legal name is Richard Dean Johnson, but he was named after his grandfathers "Malcolm Richard J." and Jae Dean H." but his father didn't like the sound of Malcolm Jae Johnson and opted to use their middle names and go with Richard Dean Johnson instead. Knowing this most of his life Malcolm came up with the stage name Malcolm Jae when he was 16 and has preferred being called Malcolm since. He went with O'Shea for his last name as a tribute to his late son James Shea Dean Johnson.
