His likeness was also used to represent Akaar's son, Leonard James Akaar as an adult, on the cover of the Star Trek: Titan "The Red King". Gage made his film debut in the 1959 crime drama The Big Operator with director/actor Larry Dobkin, but Gage entered into a film drought until the 1975 telefilm The Big Rip-Off with Robert Symonds.
