He was seen as Roy in the satiric Man in the Moon (1960), a detective in the allegorical The Adding Machine (1968) and General Reeikan in The Empire Strikes Back (1980). The actor also showed up in unstressed minor roles in such films as The Omen (1976), Ragtime (1981) and the James Bond spectacular Octopussy (1983).
