He became a regular supporting player on radio versions of Gunsmoke and Dragnet, performed on Roy Rogers Show and Wild Bill Hickok, and played Gramps on NBC Radio's The Trouble with the Truitts. At 62 he began appearing in films such as Road to Bali, The Story of Ruth, Toward the Unknown, and The Legend of Tom Dooley. His television work included Jay Burrage in The Rifleman and appearances in Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, Perry Mason, Bonanza, Rawhide, Wagon Train, and Daniel Boone. He often played kindly old men or Native American characters.
