He played rock and roll while working for Alan Freed in 1959.
In 1949, Auld played Carl in The Rat Race in the Ethel Barrymore Theater on Broadway.[5] In 1952, he had a small part in the film The Marrying Kind.[6] In 1977 he played a bandleader in the motion picture New York, New York, starring Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro and also acted as a technical consultant for the film.
