His work teaching audio techniques led to a role in the student film A Time Out of War, a Civil War allegory that won the Oscar as best short film of 1954.
He began appearing often in television episodes, often as a primary guest star — even playing the title characters on episodes of such shows as The Millionaire, Meet McGraw, The Court of Last Resort, One Step Beyond (as Abraham Lincoln), Cheyenne (as George Armstrong Custer), The Rebel, Empire, and Riverboat.
