He was cast in the television version of “The Lone Ranger”, which had been a huge favorite on the radio since 1933. After appearing on “The Lone Ranger” every week for two years, he left the show over a pay dispute. He subsequently returned, and remained with the show until its run ended in 1957. He then went on to focus primarily on commercials and personal appearances. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 85.
