Unlike a number of directors from that period of time on the show, he actually showed a fair bit of promise. Good visual eye, dynamic use of the cameras, strong casting impulses, etc. He was relatively new to directing. Unfortunately his illness took over soon after Planet of Fire in 1984 so his career was pretty much over by the age of 41 thanks to cancer. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
