Among his notable roles are in the films "Prisoner of War", "The Longest Day", "North Dallas Forty", and "Mommie Dearest". Television roles have included the British crime series "The Baron" (1965-1966), "S.W.A.T.", "Hollywood Wives" and "Dallas", in which he played an impostor pretending to be Jock Ewing.
