Mr. Larson began his entertainment career as a singer with the group The Four Preps, whose best known song was 26 Miles (Santa Catalina). After settling down with a wife and kids, Mr. Larson tired of the touring life and left the group, choosing to make a career in television where he produced some of the biggest television series ever. Quincy, ME, Magnum PI, The Fall Guy and Battlestar Galactica were among his most successful shows.
