He was important to the "disaster" genre, specializing in "Airliners in Peril". In 714 antwortet nicht (1957) his character was a pilot named named Ted Stryker, the same name used by Robert Hays in Airplane! (1980), which satirized Andrews' film. In SOS für Flug T 17 (1960) he played a pilot who must land a disabled plane. Then in Giganten am Himmel (1974) he appeared in a small but important role.
