==Biography==
Sarafian was born in New York City on April 28, 1930, to Armenian immigrants.〔 He studied pre-law and pre-med at New York University and was a poor student, but changed over to studying film, at which he excelled. He left college to join the United States Army, in which he served as a reporter for an Army news service. While stationed in Kansas City, Missouri, during the Korean War (1950-1953) he met the future Hollywood director Robert Altman, and the two became friends.
Sarafian worked with Altman on industrial films and married Altmans sister, Helen Joan Altman. He also acted in a local play Altman directed.〔 His television career began in the early 1960s in Kansas City as Altmans assistant.〔〔 Sarafian soon began to direct television shows himself, and in 1963 scored one of his greatest successes as director of the "Living Doll" episode of ''The Twilight Zone''. His first feature film was ''Andy'' in 1965. His greatest success as a feature film director came with ''Vanishing Point'', which followed the action-packed adventures of a man driving a white Dodge Challenger car from Denver, Colorado, to San Francisco, California, in 15 hours; critics disliked the movie, but it became a cult hit.〔
Besides ''The Twilight Zone'', Sarafians directing credits on television included episodes of the television series ''Gunsmoke'' and ''Batman''. In addition to ''Andy'' and ''Vanishing Point'', he directed a number of feature films, including ''Run Wild, Run Free'' in 1969, ''Man in the Wilderness'' in 1971, and ''The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing'' in 1973. In his film acting career, he played a gangster in ''Bugsy'' in 1991 and a hitman in ''Bulworth'' in 1998, and in 2001 he voiced the animated God Beaver character in ''Dr. Dolittle 2''.〔 On television, he played a coffee shop owner as a regular member of the cast of the 1985-1986 CBS situation comedy ''Foley Square'', starring Margaret Colin.〔McNeil, Alex, ''Total Television: The Comprehensive Guide to Programming From 1948 to the Present'', New York: Penguin Books, 1996, p. 293.〕〔Brooks, Tim, and Earle Marsh, ''The Complete Directory to Prime-Time Network and Cable TV Shows, 1946-Present, Sixth Edition'', New York: Ballantine Books, 1995, ISBN 0-345-39736-3, p. 364.〕
