Though the majority of his decades-long career in Hollywood has been as a music editor for major motion pictures and television shows, he is perhaps best known to the general public as an actor for his performances in the cult-classic 1977 film,
The Van (1977) and, significantly, as "Charley" in the notorious
The Brady Bunch (1969) episode,
The Subject Was Noses (1973). Goetz plays the character whom Marcia Brady famously tells "something suddenly came up" in order to break their date.
