His film debut was in 1953 in the comedy Laxdale Hall. He played up in the 1990s to more than fifty film productions. One of his most famous films is the film drama Once a hero with Alec Guinness in the lead role. As in this film he played at close to exclusively supporting roles and therefore gained no greater notoriety.
