He also was featured on TV serials, including The Edge of Night, The Doctors, Love of Life, Guiding Light, and The Secret Storm.[1]

McGrath's work on stage included performing as a member of the George Sharp Stock Company at the Pitt Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[5] On Broadway, he appeared in more than 30 plays,[1] including the 1949 Clifford Odets Broadway play The Big Knife. His Broadway debut was as Dr. Green in In the Near Future (1925), and his last Broadway role was Nick Hagen in Brightower (1970).[6]
