A fictionalized account of Hunt's role in the Bay of Pigs operation appears in Norman Mailer's 1991 novel "Harlot's Ghost". Hunt was portrayed by Ed Harris in the 1995 biopic "Nixon". In the 2019 film "The Irishman", Hunt is portrayed by stage actor Daniel Jenkins. Canadian journalist David Giammarco interviewed Hunt for the December 2000 issue of "Cigar Aficionado" magazine. Hunt later wrote the foreword to Giammarco's book "For Your Eyes Only: Behind the Scenes of the James Bond Films" (ECW Press, 2002).
