He had supporting roles with Gene Autry and the Johnny Mack Brown westerns at Monogram, playing the comic sidekick (usually named either Lullaby Joslin or just Alibi). He always traveled the range with his dummy Elmer sharing his saddle. Terhune was not only a splendid ventriloquist, but a magician. Card tricks were his forte, and he often performed such in his movies. His former vaudeville act included juggling and doing impressions, talents also incorporated into his sidekick roles.
He wrote the column Max and Skully in Genii.
