On television, he has been cast in The Heat of the Day, Great Expectations, as well as A Knight in Camelot. But these say little about his extensive theatrical endeavors.

Although starring roles in several major films followed, York never gained the international superstar status enjoyed by some of his countrymen (such as Sean Connery and Michael Caine). He did achieve fame for several of his roles in the 1970s—bisexual Brian Roberts in Cabaret (1972), D'Artagnan in Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers (1973), the title character in the futuristic sci-fi film Logan's Run (1976), and John the Baptist in Zefferrilli's made-for-TV epic, Jesus of Nazareth (1977).

York was already considering the role when he came across a persuasive point: In a Sotheby's catalog, he found a letter written by Burton while he was rehearsing "Camelot." It said "what a great acting role had come his way. He didn't mention it was a singing role, but as an acting role it had lots of opportunities, as is the case."
