Orval Thomas, a Saline County native, began a career in photography and film at an early age in Hot Springs (Garland County). That introduction led him into a lifelong career in both television and film. At various times during his career, he worked at all three television stations in Little Rock (Pulaski County). He also assisted in producing films for political campaigns and such Arkansas-based motion picture productions as The Legend of Boggy Creek.
