Terry was a regular on two soap operas, The Secret Storm on CBS and The Doctors on NBC. Kiser has guest-starred numerous times on episodic television, particularly sitcoms, though he made a notable appearance as a comedian Vic Hitler (aka, Vic the Narcoleptic Comic) on the drama Hill Street Blues.

He also appeared in three episodes of Walker, Texas Ranger, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will & Grace and The Golden Girls, as well as in two episodes of Three's Company as two different characters.
