A decade later, he starred in a leading role in the CBS soap opera "Knots Landing" — a "Dallas" spinoff that premiered in 1979 — and went on to play Sid Fairgate until the character died in Season 3.

He appeared in eight episodes of the 2017 "Twin Peaks" revival on Showtime, which continued the storyline in David Lynch's series that aired two seasons on ABC in the early '90s. Per IMDB, his most recent role was in a Western film called "Promise," which came out in 2021.
