Then, he went to UCLA to study political science and became a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Club.
In the 1930s, Bridges began trying out for parts in theatre and films. In 1936, he was in a few films without getting credit for them.

He was in "The Lone Wolf Takes a Chance," "They Dare Not Love," "Blue Clay," "Our Wife," and "I Was a Prisoner on Devil's Island" all in the same year, 1941.
Career
Soon after, during World War II, he quit Columbia Pictures to join the U.S. Coast Guard.

In the 1950s, Bridges was briefly banned after he told the House Un-American Activities Committee that he was a member of the Actors' Laboratory Theatre, which had ties to the Communist party. But he changed his mind and agreed to be a cooperative witness, which let him keep playing.
Bridges first appeared on TV in 1951 in "The Bigelow Theatre." Then, he played the main character in the movie "The Fighting Seventh," "Three Steps North," and "Richer Than the Earth." Throughout the 1950s, Bridges was always working. He had parts on both TV and in films. Some of the films he made were "Climax," "The Silent Gun," "Wetbacks," and "Rainmaker." In 1956, he played a part on "The Alcoa Hour" and accidentally cursed while improvising. Even though the mistake led to a lot of complaints, the show as a whole was liked and won a Robert E. Sherwood Television Award. Bridges also got a nomination for an Emmy Award for the part.
Bridges became known to a wider audience when he was cast as the main character, Mike Nelson, in the TV show "Sea Hunt." From 1958 to 1961, the show was on the air.

Real Estate
Lloyd and Dorothy Bridges bought a beachfront home in Malibu in the 1950s for a small amount of money in terms of today's prices. When he died in 1998, Jeff, Beau, and their sister got the house, which could be worth between $4 and $6 million today. The siblings pay an average of $16,000 per month to rent out the house. The siblings only have to pay $5,700 a year in property taxes because of Proposition 13, a special tax rule in California.
