He may be best remembered for playing the title role in Gunga Din (1939), and the High Lama in Lost Horizon (1937).
Jaffe was blacklisted by the Hollywood movie studio bosses during the 1950s, supposedly for being a Communist sympathizer. Despite this, he was hired by director William Wyler for his role in the 1959 Academy Award winning version of Ben-Hur.
Jaffe co-starred in the American TV series Ben Casey as Dr. David Zorba from 1961 to 1965 alongside Vince Edwards and had many guest starring roles on other series, including Batman (TV series) as Mr. Zoltan Zorba, and the western Alias Smith and Jones starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy. In 1975, he co-starred as a retired doctor, who is murdered by Janet Leigh in the Columbo episode Forgotten Lady. Jaffe was married to American operatic soprano and musical comedy star Lillian Taiz from 1926 until her death from cancer in 1941. In 1956, he married actress Bettye Ackerman, who later also starred with him in Ben Casey. She died on November 20, 2006, he had no children from either marriage. Sam Jaffe died of cancer in Beverly Hills, California.
