As a trainee actor, he mostly had minor roles, such as waiters or understudying. The stint ended when Avalos joined The Electric Company. Apart from The Electric Company, Avalos was a regular on several series, all short-lived: Highcliffe Manor (1979, as mad scientist Dr. Sanchez), Condo (1983, as Jessie), I Had Three Wives (1985, as Lt. Gomez), and the odd Western Ned Blessing: The Story of My Life and Times (1993, as sidekick Crecencio), as well as recurring as Dr. Esquivel on the sitcom E/R and Principal Rivas for the first season of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper. He remained busy, however, with guest appearances on Barney Miller, NYPD Blue, ER, Benson, Fame, The Incredible Hulk, The Jeffersons, Hill Street Blues, Full House, and the later TV movie installments of Columbo, Perry Mason, and The Rockford Files. Film credits included Hot Stuff (with Dom DeLuise and Bill McCutcheon), Stir Crazy (with Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor), Ghost Fever (as detective Sherman Hemsley's partner), Fires Within, The Ringer, and Hollywood Homicide.
