In the early 1930s he began appearing in films, including "The Big Shakedown" (1934) with Charles Farrell and Bette Davis, the Errol Flynn/Olivia de Havilland Western "Santa Fe Trail" (1940), the Frank Sinatra/Gene Kelly musical "Anchors Aweigh" (1945), "The Green Years" (1946), and "The Reckless Moment" (1949).
