Making his movie bow in 1941, Langton became a contract player at [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]], frequently appearing in war films.

After he was written out of the series, he appeared in half a dozen other programs including [[It Takes a Thief (1968 TV series)|''It Takes a Thief'']] (1968), [[Ironside (1967 TV series)|''Ironside'' (TV series)]] and, in his final role, ''[[Emergency!]]'', before retiring due to ill health.
