Lyle found it easy to find work in Hollywood thanks to his movie star look.

His first job was in 1966 as Aikens in the television series Gunsmoke. And then he was for the role of Batman in the TV series but lost it to Adam West.

He had roles in the hit TV series Lost In Space and Marcus Welby MS before landing a role as a team player on The Carol Burnett Show.

Some of his most famous characters were in the skit The Old Folks and he also made many false advertisements. Lyle also served as announcer for the show.

He bounced around the film The Love Boat II in 1977 to play a role in the classic television series Maude, then in 1975 was interpreted as Major Steve Trevor opposite Carter’s Wonder Woman.

The show was an instant hit, even when it went from World War II to the 1970s.
