He also made his mark in several Three Stooges short films, including Saved by the Belle, An Ache in Every Stake and Micro-Phonies. He appeared as an Italian Lieutenant in 20th Century Fox's wartime Balkans film Chetniks! The Fighting Guerrillas (1943).

CONCRETE
(Bill Anderson)
« © '75 Stallion Music »
To a boy who grew up walking in the woods and the fields of South Carolina
This big ole city feels hard underneath my feet
And to a kid who ain't never heard a noise a whole lot louder than a freight train
I get scared sometimes just standing here along the street
Concrete concrete everywhere I turn there's concrete
Found in the pavement day after day I wanna go home
Where the sun shines and the tall pines and the earth and the heavens meet
I'd rather starve on a poor dirt farm than to stay here surrounded by the concrete
Cause it's turnin' me into concrete
My kids ain't never gone wadin' in a creek or cuttin' down cane for fishing
They've never seen a blackberry growin' wild
Sometimes I get to missin' it so I almost take to crying
I'm cursed with the body of a man and the heart of a child
