Sues was one of only a very few primetime television personalities of the late 1960s and early 1970s who was known for exhibiting stereotypically gay-male behavior. On Laugh-In, while never explicitly saying he was gay, he employed exaggerated gestures and was known for acting in an intentionally "over the top" way, as a stereotype of a homosexual man (or at least as most mainstream audiences of the era imagined gay men to be).

Since Laugh-In, Sues has starred in only a few made-for-television movies and theaterical films, such as Oh, Heavenly Dog! in 1980.
