His later years brought him work on daytime television as the father of the character of 'Luke Spencer' on "General Hospital" as well as roles on "Family Affair", "My Three Sons","Emergency!", "Knots Landing","Dear John", "Murphy Brown" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation". His other screen credits include "How the West Was Won" and the films "The Rocketeer" and "The Hidden". His distinct voice can be heard in the television commercials for Hamm's beer and Soft Scrub.
