In 1970, he co-starred with Robert Redford and Gene Hackman in Downhill Racer (1969).For more than 40 years, he appeared in hundreds of TV series, movies and commercials. His many feature film credits include The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981) and Extreme Close-Up (1973).

His career expanded into book writing with his highly acclaimed coffee-table book (co-written with Dick Gautier) "Actors As Artists", a tribute to 77 stars of stage and screen who are gifted visual artists.
