He portrayed an orthodox minister who "married" Laura to Stavros in a dream sequence on General Hospital, an old hippie on Suddenly Susan and a younger one on the It's Garry Shandling's Show.
In 1983, Kaylan appeared in the rock and roll comedy Get Crazy, starring Malcolm McDowell and Daniel Stern. Kaylan played the part of Captain Cloud, a spiritual guru type of character, leader of a caravan of time lost gypsy-like hippies. In 1987, Kaylan and Volman appeared in a new music video of the song "Happy Together", made in o\rder to promote the romantic comedy Making Mr. Right, which featured the song during its end credits.
In 2001, Kaylan wrote a treatment for a very short film about his first night on tour in London. After bringing it to his friend (and Rhino Records president) Harold Bronson for input, the project was lengthened and shot as a one-hour movie. The following year, scenes were added and it was back into the movie studio once again to complete what would now be a full-length feature. My Dinner With Jimi thus became the first film written by Kaylan. It was produced by Bronson for Rhino Entertainment, and directed by Bill Fishman (Tapeheads, Car 54, Where Are You?) for Fallout Films. In 2005, Kaylan appeared in a featured role in Stephen King's Riding The Bullet.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or appearances:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“It is doubtless wise, when a reform is introduced, to try to persuade the British public that it is not a reform at all; but appearances must be kept up to some extent at least.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
