A year later, Caesar became an announcer for and then joined the [[Negro Ensemble Company]] in 1970 for productions such as ''[[The River Niger]]'', ''Square Root of the Soul'', and ''The Brownsville Raid''.

He had a stint on the soap operas ''[[Guiding Light]]'' and ''[[General Hospital]]'' in 1964 and 1969, respectively. Thanks to his voice, Caesar found frequent work as a voice-over artist for television and radio commercials, including theatrical previews and radio commercials for many [[blaxploitation]] films such as ''[[Cleopatra Jones]]'', ''[[Super Fly (1972 film)|Superfly]]'', ''[[Truck Turner]]'' and ''[[The Spook Who Sat by the Door (film)|The Spook Who Sat by the Door]]''.
