Butler

His name is Robert Butler. He is an American tv show director.

Butler has directed episodes for a number of very well-known shows, including Dr Kildare, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Fugitive, Mission: Impossible, Columbo and more.

But he is more important and famous than just that. Mr Butler has directed many pilot episodes for series. This is particularly important as a pilot usually sets the tone for the episodes that follow. You may possibly have heard of some of these:

  • Hill Street Blues
  • Star Trek
  • Batman
  • Moonlighting
  • Hogan’s Heroes
  • Remington Steele
  • The new adventures of Superman

There are some very interesting interview clips with him on YouTube. Here is just one:
