When World War II broke out, Fairbanks joined the US Navy. He remained in the army until retiring long after the war ended in 1954 as Captain, receiving many awards for his bravery and tact from the US, France and Brazil. In between this, he made frequent appearances in UK films and television, admitting he'd fallen in love with the island as an Anglophile, and was even given an [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever Honourary Knighthood]] in 1949 as well as other awards from the Royal Family. He notably presented a joint UK/US anthology television series called ''Douglas Fairbanks Presents'', which featured an AllStarCast from films and television.

Arguably through nepotism, Fairbanks Jr was signed to Paramount Studios as a young teenager because of his father's successful career. As a young adult, he had many supporting roles in silent films that starred many big-name actors at the time, but was soon boosted into super-stardom when Hollywood moved to sound pictures in the movies ''Our Modern Maidens'', and ''A Woman of Affairs'' in the late 1920s. Fairbanks Jr moved to Warner Bros in 1930 and made three films within two years with two of them being successful. He briefly left Hollywood to appear in British films and returned for ''Film/ThePrisonerOfZenda'' and ''Gunga Din'', cementing him into being type-casted in action movies.

When World War Two broke out, Fairbanks Jr joined the US Navy. He remained in the army until retiring long after the war ended in 1954 as Captain, receiving many awards for his bravery and tact from the US, France and Brazil.
