He also had a number of supporting roles on television such as The Life And Legend of Wyatt Earp, The Untouchables, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Climax!, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, General Electric Theater, and Wanted: Dead or Alive.

From there, he moved to Broadway, taking over for Robert Morse as J. Pierrepont Finch in the original production of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.He also served as the head of CBS daytime programming for nearly five years.
