In 1957 and 1958, Foulk played the outlaw Curly Bill Brocius in three episodes, "Gunslinger from Galeville", "Ride Out at Noon" and "Skeleton Canyon Massacre", of the western television series, Tombstone Territory, with Pat Conway as Sheriff Clay Hollister. By contrast in 1958, Foulk was cast as Sheriff Brady in the film, The Left Handed Gun. From 1959 to 1960, he had the recurring role of bartender Joe Kingston in the NBC western series, Wichita Town, with Joel McCrea and Jody McCrea.
Foulk made four guest appearances on CBS's Perry Mason, all of them as a law-enforcement officer. He made thirteen appearances on NBC's Bonanza, mostly as a sheriff or deputy sheriff. He also had a recurring role as Mr. Wheeler in sixteen episodes of CBS's Green Acres, starring Eddie Albert.
