Film and television
Caudell had roles several minor films for the teenage market in the 1970s, including the lead role in the musical film Hanging on a Star, in which "a big rubbery Lane Caudell arises on a swampy stage and sings in a bubblingly oily voice." Caudell had the starring role in The Archer, a fantasy with swords and sorcerers. Caudell's character, Toran of the Hawk Clan, has been framed for the murder of his father, Chief Brakus.

Hal Erickson praised his performance in Goodbye, Franklin High.

In her 1987 memoir I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, Pamela Des Barres describes Caudell as having given up show business, "after playing a caveman in a TV movie and a brief stint on Days of Our Lives."
