He also had a recurring role as the scheming railroad man, Homer Bedloe, on the 1960s sitcom Petticoat Junction and appeared often on I Love Lucy. Lane continued to act into his 90s. One of the first to join the Screen Actors Guild, he was paid $35 a day, sometimes working in three or four pictures a day!
