It was at this time that he took on a waiter's job and also began to teach some of his skills to students who would pay. His father was famous opera singer and that helped him to be introduced into films at very young age. By the time he was 18, he had appeared in twenty films. He regularly gave displays at exhibitions, and it was during one of these exhibitions that he was spotted by a producer and signed up to do The Green Hornet series. His first film was called The birth of Mankind. After his fascinating career, he died in July 1973 while he was acting in The Game of Death.
