In 1965 he produced the comedy- -adventure "I Spy," which costarred Bill Cosby, one of television's first black leading men.

"Somebody said, 'If you don't like the way we're doing it, why don't you do it and the next thing I knew I was a director," he recalled. "From there I became a producer, from being chronically dissatisfied with directors." He won five Emmys and had 18 Emmy nominations. He served on the national board of the Directors Guild for 39 years and was inducted into the television academy's Hall of Fame in recognition of his achievements in 1992.
