In 1957 Palmer made his television debut with L'avaro, directed by Vittorio Cottafavi; the same year he also made his theatrical debut at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, in the revue I pallinisti. From then, even continuing to appear in prestigious stage works it was the television that assured him popularity and professional satisfaction, thanks to the numerous successful television films and TV series in which he starred. Palmer was also a versatile film character actor, mainly active in commedia all'italiana and in poliziotteschi film genre.[2] He also was a radio and television host, and a popular voice actor.
