Drafted into the United States Army, West served as an announcer on American Forces Network television.

Following his discharge from the army, he worked as a milkman. The newly coveted broadcaster would continue that job until he moved to Hawaii. After all that, West found his way to Hollywood, but he turned down an iconic role that should be played by Brits only.
