Educated in Britain and America, he learnt the technical side of commercial advertising films before deciding to turn to acting. During the Second World War he served in the armed forces (1941–1946) and between 1946 and 1947 he acted on stage.[3][4]

During the first half of the 1950s, Worth had prominent supporting roles in over a dozen films, including playing the progressive teacher Mr Judd in Tom Brown's Schooldays (1951). From 1956, his roles grew smaller, although his later film appearances did include four for noted director Michael Powell as well as a small role in a Bond movie, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).
