=== Television === Andrews began appearing on television on such shows as ''[[Playhouse 90]]'' ("Right Hand Man", "Alas, Babylon"), ''[[General Electric Theatre]]'', ''[[The Barbara Stanwyck Show]]'', [[Checkmate (American TV series)|''Checkmate'']], ''[[The DuPont Show of the Week]]'', ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]'' ("[[No Time Like the Past]]"), ''[[The Dick Powell Theatre]]'', ''[[Alcoa Premiere]]'', ''[[Ben Casey]]'', and ''[[Theatre of Stars]]''. Andrews continued to make films like ''[[The Crowded Sky]]'' (1960) and ''[[Madison Avenue (film)|Madison Avenue]]'' (1961). He then went to Broadway for ''The Captains and the Kings'', which had a short run in 1962. In 1963, he was elected president of the [[Screen Actors Guild]]. In 1965, Andrews resumed his film work with [[supporting actor|support roles]] in ''[[The Satan Bug]]'' and ''[[In Harm's Way]]''. Although he had the lead in films such as ''[[Crack in the World]]'' (1965), ''[[Brainstorm (1965 film)|Brainstorm]]'' (1965), and ''[[Town Tamer]]'' (1965), he was increasingly cast in supporting roles: ''[[Berlin, Appointment for the Spies]]'' (1965), ''[[The Loved One (film)|The Loved One]]'' (1965), ''[[Battle of the Bulge (1965 film)|Battle of the Bulge]]'' (1965), and ''[[Johnny Reno]]'' (1966). He occasionally played leads in low-budget films like ''[[The Frozen Dead]]'' (1966), ''[[The Cobra (film)|The Cobra]]'' (1967) and ''[[Hot Rods to Hell]]'' (1967), however, by the late 1960s he had evolved into a [[character actor]], as in ''The Ten Million Dollar Grab'' (1967), ''[[No Diamonds for Ursula]]'' (1967), and ''[[The Devil's Brigade (film)|The Devil's Brigade]]'' (1968). By the end of the decade, Andrews returned to television to play the leading role of college president Tom Boswell on the NBC daytime soap opera ''[[Bright Promise]]'' from its premiere on September 29, 1969, until March 1971.<ref>{{cite news| title=Ann Jeffreys Happy in 'Bright Promise'| last=Scott| first=Vernon| agency=[[United Press International]]| url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1917&dat=19710506&id=Fb0tAAAAIBAJ&pg=4604,1389904&hl=en| work=[[The Daily Gazette|Schenectady Gazette]]| date=May 6, 1971| access-date=November 2, 2015}}</ref>
