In the following sentences from the book I am reading now, I don't understand what "suggesting that he behaved no better than any given occasion called for him to do" means. Could someone please elaborate on it?
He didn't look his forty-three years, especially when he smiled. His straight white teeth flashed and a devilish dimple cratered one cheek, suggesting that he behaved no better than any given occasion called for him to do.

No matter how many times I read the original sentence, I can't reach your answer. Could you tell me about next questions. Is "do" in "called for him to do" substitutive verb of "behave"? I wonder what thought process did you go through to reach your conclusion?
