Born in Los Angeles, Grinnage made his first television appearances in 1954. The following year, he played Moose – one of three teenage rebels who chase James Dean – in Rebel Without a Cause (1955). Rebel Without a Cause was his first film where he received a screen credit.[1]

Grinnage continued to play supporting roles or bit parts in films like King Creole (1958) with Elvis Presley (in a crucial role as a mute gang member), Spartacus (1960) and The Private Navy of Sgt.

In 1961, he appeared in the Broadway musical The Billy Barnes People.[2] Between 1974 and 1975, he had a supporting role as Independent News Service reporter Ron Updyke[3] in the mystery series Kolchak: The Night Stalker.[4] In 2009, Grinnage played the role of Marvell, the replacement janitor, in two episodes of Scrubs.
