Franz portrayed King Ahab in the 1953 biblical low-budget film Sins of Jezebel, Jethro in Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1956), and Jehoam in Henry Koster's The Story of Ruth (1960). By 1936, Franz was a player on the national stage, performing from coast to coast. He became a leading Broadway actor for nearly 30 years, in such plays as First Stop to Heaven and Embezzled Heaven, and Conversation At Midnight. He made his film debut in a bit part in 1947, in Killer at Large, but followed that letter appearance the next year with a memorable role in the motion picture The Scar (so titled Hollow Triumph). His fourth movie saw him acting with John Wayne in Wake of the Red Witch in 1948. He portrayed Chief Broken Hand in White Feather. He played search intellectuals as Dr. Stern in The Thing from Another World (1951), a university professor in The Four Skulls of Jonathan Drake (1959), and Justice Louis Brandeis in The Magnificent Yankee (1950), a role he reprised in the 1965 television adaptation. He appeared in a 1957 television adaptation of A. J. Cronin's novel, Beyond This Place, which was directed by Sidney Lumet.

Those remakes were the 1952 film version of the story, starring Danny Thomas and the 1959 television version starring Jerry Lewis.
