Joe Witkin (the original keyboard player before Scott Simon replaced him) became a physician as he'd always expected to. Most of his career was heading the emergency room at a San Diego area hospital. Bowzer's predecessor Alan Cooper became a department head at the Columbia University Jewish Theological Seminary. Bruce Clarke became a bigtime academician based at Texas Tech University. Elliot Cahn (left before the TV series as did Bruce Clarke and Rich Joffe) became a bigtime entertainment lawyer who managed the group "Green Day" for a few years. David Garrett graduated the rigorous Columbia University School of Engineering and became an electronics industry businessman. Rich Joffe practiced law in NYC for years. Denny Greene graduated Yale Law School after the TV years and ended up a law professor. "Many talents" were the norm for Columbia undergraduates, due to the college having extremely tough admissions standards. I'd been on track to become a lawyer myself, but the life of a journeyman rock star hooked me and allowed all the time that I ended up needing for marital trainwrecks. 😎
