Mr. Justman’s career spans more than 35 feature films and 500 TV episodes, pilots and movies. In 1964, he met Herb Solow and Gene Roddenberry and was hired as the assistant director on “The Cage,” the first Star Trek pilot. He was soon back, but now as the Associate Producer of the second Star Trek pilot and the series which followed. He became Co-Producer for the show’s third and final season. In October, 1986, he teamed up again with Roddenberry to produce and help create the most successful syndicated television show of this or any other era, the Peabody Award-winning Star Trek: The Next Generation.
