In that production he was cast as a slow-witted hillbilly alongside fellow character actor Robert Easton, who early in his own career specialized in playing "country bumpkins".

He appeared several times on The Rifleman and Gunsmoke (“Uncle Oliver”-S2E35), as well as in episodes of other television Westerns such as Pony Express, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Rawhide, Wanted Dead or Alive, and The Guns of Will Sonnett.

He still continued to perform in nearly a dozen other television series during that decade, including Get Smart, Mod Squad, Switch, Charlie's Angels, Police Woman, and The Amazing Spider-Man.
