Coster was best known for his role as Robert Delaney on the NBC series Another World (also known as Somerset) between 1970 and 1979. He also appeared as the kidnapper Steve Andrews on All My Children from 1988 to 1989, and as Mayor Jack Madison on The Bay from 2010 to 2019.

Another one of his leading roles was on the NBC series Santa Barbara, in which Coster played Lionel Lockridge from 1984 through 1988. After a brief hiatus due to Coster’s distaste for a potential storyline on the show, he returned from 1990 to 1993, when the show ended.

He received four Daytime Emmy nominations for the role. It was the role of Madison on The Bay — an Amazon soap — that landed Coster his first Emmy in 2017.
