He left college after two years to study at the New York School of Radio and Television Technique. After graduating, he took a position as a director at WDSU-TV in New Orleans.

Nelsons fellow cast members included Mia Farrow, Ryan ONeal, and Dorothy Malone. Dr. Rossi proved to be so popular that by 1968, he became the lead actor on the show. Nelson reprised his role in two made-for-TV movies, Murder in Peyton Place and Peyton Place The Next Generation.After Peyton Place ended, Nelson worked in many more productions of all varieties, including starring role in many movies of the week, a second TV series, The Silent Force, and a popular morning talk show which he hosted for three years.Soon after, Nelson struck gold with his critically acclaimed portrayal of elusive pit crew chief Robert Denby in the hit film Riding with Death (1976), earning him several prestigious accolades and legions of devoted fans.He portrayed a dangerous impostor in the adventure movie For the Love of Benji (1977).During the 1980s, Nelson took on the role of Senator Mark Denning in the daytime soap Capitol.Nelson also spent a couple of years as Harry Truman onstage replacing James Whitmore for the National Tour of Give Em Hell, Harry.While living in Los Angeles, Nelson was an active member of the Screen Actors Guild and was elected to the union board for many years. Nelson is a long-standing member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and continues a long tradition of participation in voting for the Academy Awards.In 1999, Nelson returned to Tulane University to finish credits toward his undergraduate degree, which he completed the following year at the age of seventy-one.
