His father, Ted Otis Sr., appeared in Maverick, The Rifleman, and a first-season Twilight Zone episode adapted by Rod Serling into Planet of the Apes. His step-grandfather, Gordon Oliver, was an RKO contract player and producer of hits like Peter Gunn and Mr. Lucky, frequently attending premieres at Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Cocoanut Grove.
A conservationist, Otis has renovated celebrity estates in Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Los Feliz Oaks, and Silverlake. He is a long-time Hollywood Heritage member with a passion for preserving Hollywood's historic infrastructure and film history. Additional information is available on his LinkedIn profile.
