He appeared in numerous TV shows, including Public Defender (1954),The Loretta Young Show (1953),and The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952).

Hickman is best known for his role as Chuck, the girl-crazy nephew, in The Bob Cummings Show (1955),and as the titular lovesick title high school teen in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959),a role he played for which he is most famous.
