The esteemed stage actor, having honed his craft on the boards, took his first step into the world of feature films with the 1948 production of Close-Up, set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City.
Seven years later, as the national touring company of the esteemed production "Tea and Sympathy" reached the West Coast and subsequently came to a close, the actor elected to remain in the City of Angels, thus marking his Hollywood movie debut in the 1956 sci-fi thriller The Creature Walks Among Us. In this cinematic endeavour, he played the role of a scientist, part of a team employed by the illustrious actor Jeff Morrow, with whom he had previously collaborated during his summer stock days.
