His films included "Dragoon Wells Massacre," "Jack Slade" and a sequel, and in 1966, "The Night of the Grizzly" starring Clint Walker.

He also wrote for such non- Western series as "77 Sunset Strip" and "This Is Your Life." Also a talented lyricist, Douglas wrote the book and lyrics for three musicals "The Peaceful Palace," "Belle Starr" with Betty Grable, and "Go for Your Gun" with Em-maline Henry. Born in Minneapolis, Douglas caught the acting bug when he appeared in a high school play. He began his career based in New York and touring with the Oxford Players.
