He became fascinated with scoring for film and less interested in being a concert pianist. He moved to 20th Century Fox and became involved in arranging and orchestration. He ultimately became involved in composition. As 'Johnny' Williams, he wrote scores for the classic TV series of the day - episodes of 'Wagon Train', 'Gilligan's Island' and 'Bachelor Father'. This led onto work with the Director and Producer, Irwin Allen, starting with 'Lost in Space'. The rest is history... MATRIMONIOS 'Barbra Ruike' (qv) (? - ?) CITAS "The films needed something!"
