Virgil W. Vogel(1919-1996)
- Director
- Editor
- Editorial Department
Virgil W. Vogel began his career at Universal in 1940 as an assistant
editor. He worked as an editor for many years, although by the mid-'50s
he had begun to tire of the job and pressed Universal executive Edward Muhl
for a shot at directing. Vogel was handed The Mole People (1956) with John Agar, and his
capable handling of that film led to other assignments at the studio.
Vogel later directed many made-for-television movies as well as
episodes of TV's Bonanza (1959), Wagon Train (1957), M Squad (1957), The Six Million Dollar Man (1974), Mission: Impossible (1966), Quantum Leap (1989),
Spenser: For Hire (1985) and many others.
