Among the TV shows Kilpatrick did guest spots on are Naked City (1958), Then Came Bronson (1969), Medical Center (1969), Ironside (1967), McCloud (1970), Mannix (1967), Harry O (1973), Baretta (1975), Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979), The Jeffersons (1975), The Greatest American Hero (1981), Hill Street Blues (1981), Trapper John, M.D. (1979), Frasier (1993), Melrose Place (1992), NYPD Blue (1993), and ER (1994), along with dozens of others.
