Oppenheimer has appeared in numerous American television shows, ranging from playing a Nazi in Hogan's Heroes to being the second actor to play Dr. Rudy Wells in The Six Million Dollar Man (Martin Balsam appeared in the pilot film). Rudy appeared in his second film, "Wine, Women and War," before the bionic woman was introduced in 1975 (whereupon Martin E. Brooks took over as Wells until cancellation). On Happy Days, Mickey Malph (Ralph Malph's father) was the original Mickey Malph (Ralph Malph's father). During the first two seasons of St. Germain, he appeared in a recurring role.

He then moved into science fiction in Westworld, a 1973 cult classic, where he appeared as the head IT technician. He has appeared in three Star Trek movies before, but he has always played a different character. He appeared in "Rightful Heir" as a Klingon cleric, Koroth, a key instigator of Kahless' cloning of Kahless; on Deep Space Nine as a Starfleet Captain in command of the US Odyssey; and as an alien ambassador in Voyager.
