His nomination was shared with Jan Pascale.
In 1980 he was awarded an Emmy for his work on the show, and around that time he was discovered by Steven Spielberg while he was shooting on the same lot.

Little known fact: when working on Nick Castle's The Boy Who Could Fly, "Bissell-ing" was invented.
It started at a dinner with Bissell, Castle, Ron Cobb, and their wives.
The rule became: you cannot drink the wine until you have Bisselled - Which involves, dropping the cork onto a plate repeatedly until the cork stands up on one end.
We have tried to propagate this throughout the world and currently, Nick Castle the Bissell-ing record - 3-corks simultaneously!
Bissell is married to Martha Wynne.
In 2015 he received the Art Directors Guild lifetime achievement award.
