In addition, he wrote several made-for-television movies, including The Other Man, Hunters of the Reef, One Shoe Makes It Murder, Jessie and The Fifth Missile. In addition to Shogun, based on the bestselling novel by James Clavell (with whom he shared his Emmy), his other miniseries included Noble House, another collaboration with Clavell, and Washington: Behind Closed Doors.

His feature films included Conquered City, Day of the Evil Gun, Culpepper Cattle Company, Hell in the Pacific, Change of Habit and Three the Hard Way.
