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. In the first episode of “[[The Munster]]“ 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.
