TV dub assignments included David Ogden Stiers on *M*A*S*H, Werner Klemperer on Hogan's Heroes (and then Howard Caine as the more aggressive Major Hochstedder in the second dub), Armin Shimerman as Principal Snyder on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Edward Hibbert on Frasier. For cartoons, he dubbed the Lobe on Freakazoid, the Tod in The Plague Dogs, and guest roles on Superman.
