In 1971, Prentice joined the cast of Dark Shadows playing Morgan Collins in the show's 1841 plot with parallel time. He also appeared as Nils Fowler in the 1972 film The Legend of Nigger Charley and had a small role in the 1980 film Cruising which, like The Boys in the Band, was directed by William Friedkin.

In 1982, Prentice co-founded Kettering Theatre Under the Stars in Kettering, Ohio, and directed summer shows there until he died of AIDS-related cancer on September 27, 1992.
