He appeared in the anthology television series Playhouse 90 and the Perry Mason episode 'The Case of the Blushing Pearls' (both 1959) and a handful of times in Hawaiian Eye during the 1960–61 season, including an eponymous episode as Thomas Jefferson Chu. He originated the role of George in the musical Fly Blackbird!, but when the show traveled from Los Angeles to Off-Broadway the West Coast actors were forced to audition and the role went to William Sugihara instead.
