He played a couple of different characters in episodes of the TV series Adventures of Superman, in which John Hamilton had been cast as Perry White. He was set to reprise his role as the editor of The Daily Planet in a revival of the series in 1959, as Hamilton had died in the interim since the cancellation of the original series. However, series star George Reeves also died in the summer of 1959, ending those plans. Watkin himself died within 6 months.
