During the mid-1970s, Fields appeared in over 50 commercials, including an ad for Thomas' English Muffins in which he slid down a stairway banister shouting, "Auntie Mabel, Auntie Mabel, put some Thomas' on the table!" He also appeared in the first commercial for Glow Lite Lite Ups (glow sticks), which won an award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Fields was understudy for the role of Louis (the teacher's son) and also swing for the Royal Children (wearing a black wig and full body make-up so as to appear Siamese). Fields was also in the Turgenev play A Month in the Country (Roundabout Theater Company) starring Tammy Grimes, Farley Granger and Amanda Plummer.
In 1980, Fields was cast as Tom of Warwick in the 20th Anniversary revival production of Camelot starring Richard Burton, Christine Ebersole and Richard Muenz. This production toured the United States, breaking world records for attendance, and also played at Lincoln Center’s State Theater in New York City. In 1981, Burton was replaced by Richard Harris.
