Otis's industry roots run deep. His stepfather, Clifford David—an Academy member and Broadway veteran mentored by Lee Strasberg—introduced him to Hollywood sound stages in the 1970s. His godfather, Lewis Milestone, won Oscars for directing All Quiet on the Western Front and Two Arabian Knights. 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.
