He then eventually got better roles in movies such as "The Renegade Trail" (1939) and finally, a starring role in the Warner Brothers film "No Place to Go" (1939), which never was released. In 1941, he was cast by Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane III, the title character's son, because of the striking resemblance between the two.
