He appeared in an episode of the 1961 series The Asphalt Jungle.

He also appeared on television, including a guest spot on John Payne's The Restless Gun and as a truculently stubborn juror opposite James Garner in the 1957 Maverick episode "Rope of Cards."

His final film role was in The Legend of Frank Woods (1977).
