in memoriam
Putting together even just a single episode for any television program takes a great degree of dedication.
It's been said that there are a great many balls that must be juggled. From screenwriters to props and costumes along with make-up and set dressing, everything needs a bit of attention in order for the pieces to come together. Its in this capacity that a director -- of course, along with a great producer -- attempts to fill every hole possible. He or she takes as much control of the endeavor as is necessary to direct the people to keep an eye on their respective jobs while he (or she) does what's required to bring it all to fruition.
Many of these folks -- especially in the world of episodic television -- go unnoticed, but I've been told by many that they're the unsung heroes of a great many franchises we celebrate ... and Ralph Senensky was just such a man. Across his years in the entertainment business, he helped bring to life installments for such enterprises as The Twilight Zone, The Wild Wild West, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, I Spy, Night Gallery, Search, Planet Of The Apes, and countless other adventures in mainstream fare that doesn't get covered on SciFiHistory.Net. While Trek wasn't his only domain in Science Fiction and Fantasy, it speaks volumes that the guy directed an incredible seven episodes for the beloved classic series.
Alas ... none of us lasts forever ... and word reached the World Wide Web this morning regarding the man's passing.
Our warmest prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Mr. Senensky.
May he rest in peace.
