In later years, he retired from the acting business and kept a used books store in Los Angeles. He was a collector of first editions of Mark Twain.

His final role as Mr. Lipschitz, the Lighthouse Keeper, in The Naked Monster (2005, with Kenneth Tobey, and Daniel Roebuck), which was shot ten years prior to the film's completion, a decade after his death.
