Solway was known nationally as a panelist of the CBC Television programme "This is the Law" in the early 1970s. He returned to the radio talk show circuit later that decade with "Talkback" on Brampton, Ontario station CHIC until management there dismissed him without warning. He was seen in minor roles in films such as "Meatballs" and "The Brood".

He was a candidate for the Ontario New Democratic Party in the 1999 Ontario general election but was unsuccessful in his campaign at the St. Paul's riding.
