I did not know about this guy... NYT Article... Ken Knowlton, a Father of Computer Art and Animation, Dies at 91His work at Bell Labs in the 1960s laid the groundwork for today’s computer-generated imagery in film and on TV.

From our discussion...

Several faces that would become familiar in the 60s were occasionally cast on "Silent Service". Here's a scene with Russell "The Professor" Johnson": @Roger @ChuckGram
