He also had supporting roles in the 1977 movie The World's Greatest Lover with Gene Wilder and Carol Kane and the 1989 movie Let It Ride with Richard Dreyfuss, as well as numerous appearances on television shows like Hawaii Five-O (1968), the 1977 miniseries Seventh Avenue, and the late 1990s Tracey Ullman show Tracey Takes On.
