Background

Dr. John Willard is the Director of the International Ecological Institute in Vallejo.


During the events of Octaman (1971) played by Jeff Morrow

Dr. Willard is studying fish in an aquarium when Dr. Rick Torres shows up with the baby Octaman. Rick shows Dr. Willard the baby Octaman, but it is dead. Dr. Willard doesn't see a connection between the baby Octaman and radiation, which Rick objects to. Dr. Willard then tells Rick that their funds are going to go to more direct studies. Rick asks Dr. Jameson what he thinks, but he thinks the possibilities are endless. Rick asks Willard to consider the mutation is due to radiation, but Willard tells him no.
