He was important to the "disaster" genre, specializing in "Airliners in Peril". In Kuoleman kynnyksellä (1957) his character was a pilot named named Ted Stryker, the same name used by Robert Hays in Hei me lennetään! (1980), which satirized Andrews' film. In The Crowded Sky (1960) he played a pilot who must land a disabled plane. Then in Jättiläinen taivaalla (1974) he appeared in a small but important role.
