King began his film career in [[musicals]] but quickly moved into supporting roles. He is probably best remembered today for his villainous roles in two films starring the [[Marx Brothers]]: ''[[A Night at the Opera (film)|A Night at the Opera]]'' (1935) and ''[[Go West (1940 film)|Go West]]'' (1940). He also appeared with [[Laurel & Hardy]] in ''[[Swiss Miss (film)|Swiss Miss]]'' (1938). King made several appearances on radio and later became an actors' agent. During the 1950s and 1960s, he was seen in several often uncredited bit parts and smaller roles in television and films.

One credited TV role was as “Major Clinton” in the 1958 S1E38 offering, “The Monty Britton Story” on ''[[Wagon Train]]''.

In the first episode of ''[[The Munsters]]'' he is credited for his role as [[George Washington]]. His final appearance was in the 1977 TV movie ''[[One in a Million: The Ron LeFlore Story]]''.
 
King died in [[Beverly Hills, California]] in 1984.
