In his early career he often sang and danced in such films as Just Imagine (1930) and A Connecticut Yankee (1931). He was featured in Alice Adams (1935) as the title characters brother, and in Room Service (1938) he played opposite the Marx Brothers. He served in the U.S. Army Air Forces First Motion Picture Unit making training films during World War II.
