Originally, Stone intended in pursuing a career in medicine and earned a BA degree from the University of Buffalo Medical School.  However, upon completing his schooling, he had a change of heart and wanted to see if he could make it as an actor.
 
He began with working as a radio actor and also started performing in a number of stage productions. Soon, he was appearing on Broadway in such plays as, "The World We Make" (1939), "Morning Star" (1940) and "A Bell for Adano" (1944).      

After gaining some more experience as a stage actor he began adding a variety of television credits to his resume such as, "The Hartmans", "Suspense", "Shadow of the Cloak", "Martin Kane" and "The Man Behind the Badge" starring Charles Bickford.
