Craven has also carved out a career on the small screen. He appeared as a fellow patient of the cancer-stricken hero in the biopic "The Terry Fox Story" (HBO, 1983), was a steelworker-turned-restaurateur in "Hearts of Steel" (ABC, 1986) and was the corrupt assistant to John Goodman's governor in "Kingfish: A Story of Huey P Newton" (TNT, 1995). He was a regular on three short-lived series. Co-starring with Robby Benson and Adam Arkin in "Tough Cookies" (CBS, 1986), Craven was a bartender who had been a childhood friend of Benson's plainclothes cop. He went on to work with Arkin's father and stepmother (Alan Arkin and Barbara Dana) in "Harry" (ABC, 1987). Craven was among the ensemble of the DreamWorks-produced police drama "High Incident" (ABC, 1996-97), but the series failed to catch on with viewers. He was back with the studio for the feature "Paulie: A Parrot's Tale" (1998), about a lost bird, in a cast that also included Gena Rowlands, Jay Mohr and Bruce Davison. Craven followed with a regular role as a caring physician in the CBS drama series "L.A. Doctors" (1998-99).
