Claxton got his start in Hollywood as a film editor in the 1940s, where he was employed an editor for Edward Small Productions,[3] as he would move into directing of second feature films by 1950s and 1960s, and also delve into television directing during this period.
Claxton's very first directorial effort was 1951's All That I Can Have.[3] Claxton, who is best known for his TV work, enjoyed a long stint as producer/director of the syndicated Christian anthology series This is the Life[3] (which was his first work in TV) from 1951 to 1980.
He spent much of the 1950s with 20th Century Fox'sRegal Pictures subsidiary, turning out medium-budget films which included the films God Is My Partner (1956) and Desire in the Dust (1960); occasionally, as in the cast of Rockabilly Baby (1957), he produced as well as directed.[3]
