By 1931, he had established the first of many Broadway credits in ''The Rap''. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne; Broadway and Movie Actor )〕 His other Broadway shows include ''Yellow Jack'' (1934), ''The Cat and the Canary'' (1935), ''Whiteoaks'' (1938), with Ethel Barrymore, and ''Without Love'' (1942), with Katharine Hepburn. 〔 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne Actor, 92 )〕 Shayne played many character roles in movies and television, such as a 1943 movie entitled ''Wagon Wheels West'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne )〕 and as a mad scientist in the 1953 horror film ''The Neanderthal Man'', but he is best remembered for his portrayal of the recurring character Police Inspector William "Bill" Henderson on the 1950s TV series ''Adventures of Superman''. He appeared sporadically in the early episodes of the series, in part because he came under HUAC scrutiny and was briefly blacklisted on unproven and unspecific charges of association with Communism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Only Victims )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Science Fiction Stars and Horror Heroes )〕 As the program evolved, especially in the color episodes, he was brought into more and more of them, to the point where he was a regular on the series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Superman Homepage - Superman on Television )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne - Biography - Movies & TV - NYTimes.com )〕 He appears briefly in Alfred Hitchcock's ''North by Northwest'', seated at a booth in a hotel bar, where his character meets Cary Grant's character, just as the latter is about to be kidnapped.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne )〕 He also had a small but pivotal role in the 1953 sci-fi classic ''Invaders From Mars'' as a scientist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Invaders from Mars )〕 He also enjoyed a brief rebirth in his career when he was cast as the blind newspaper vendor in ''The Flash'' television show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Shayne movies, photos, movie reviews, filmography, and biography - AllMovie )〕 He was by this time actually blind and learned his lines by having his wife read them to him and then rehearse until he memorized them.
