In the early 1950s, Space appeared in various film serials including Government Agents vs. Phantom Legion, Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders, and Panther Girl of the Kongo. In 1954, Space played the bandit Black Bart, or Charles Bolles, in an episode of the syndicated western television series Stories of the Century. Throughout the mid-1950s, Space continued appearing in films such as The Spirit of St. Louis with James Stewart while guest starring on various television series. During this time, he also had a recurring role on Lassie. In 1960, Space landed the role of Herbert Brown in the television series National Velvet. After the series ended in 1962, Space continued acting in both television and films. His last role was in a 1981 episode of Walking Tall. He died of cancer at his home Hollywood on January 13, 1983 at the age of 74. Trivia Arthur Space in the TV series "Lassie" replaced Frank Ferguson's Dr. Wilson as Lassie's vet and was forever known for the part afterward. Space and Florence Lake, who played Jenny the telephone operator, remained with the series the longest: they both spanned the Jeff and Timmy episodes until Lassie left the farm in 1964.
