It was then that I decided to devote my life to acting. He made his debut in the series Battleship Bismarck. Then the aspiring actor for several years honed his talent in various television dramas.
The first role in Hollywood was received by the actor in the mid-50s. In 1956, he starred in the film Forbidden Planet.
