Baker was born in Montreal, Quebec. In the early 1960s he made guest appearances on many television series. In 1962 he appeared on Perry Mason as Kenneth Carter in "The Case of the Bogus Books." Other television series included Dr. Kildare and The Dick Van Dyke Show. He appeared in the Elvis Presley movie Girl Happy (1966), and also in all three Gidget movies. He began a long association with Walt Disney Studios where he appeared in The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin (1966), Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) and Superdad (1974). In 1968, he had a lead role in Good Morning, World, a short-lived sitcom about a pair of disc jockeys named Lewis and Clarke.
