He gained further fame through his participation in Billy Wilder's film Avanti, Avanti! (1972) alongside Jack Lemmon . His last film was Gremlins by Joe Dante in 1984 .

He had a leading role in two series, namely 1964 to 1965 in Broadside as Commander Roger Adrian and 1979 in Supertrain as Harry Flood . Both series were unsuccessful and therefore did not last long.
