Trivia
In 2008, TV Week quoted David Howe, then president of the Sci Fi Channel, about the irrepressible Halmi, then 84. "He never switches off. He is on 24/7. I don't think he sleeps," Howe said. "He lives for reading books and figuring out what his next project is, and he's got the rights to books and comic books that I've never heard of. He really is a guru on some of this stuff, and he's very passionate about the genre and very committed to telling great stories through this genre.".
