McIntire appeared in the 1965 episode "The Lawless Have Laws" as Lorenz Oatman in the television series Death Valley Days. He also appeared in six episodes of Kung Fu, four of them as the long-lost brother of Kwai Chang Caine. Other television roles include appearances in the Western The Legend of Jesse James, the 1965 episode "The Storm" on the television Western Gunsmoke, the 1966 episode "Gauntlet of Fire" of the series 12 O'Clock High, and the 1976 miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man and Rich Man, Poor Man Book II.
