I mahi ia hei kaimahi tari mo nga kaiwhakaahua a William Hanna raua ko Joseph Barbera i te taiwhanga pakiwaituhi MGM. I whakawhiwhia e ratou ki a ia he mahi tiimata hei kaiwhakaari whakaari, engari i paopao ia, e kii ana he hiahia ia ki te noho hei kaiwhakaari. I whakangungu ia hei kaiwhakaari me tetahi roopu e kiia ana ko te Players Ring Theatre, i muri mai o te wa i kitea ai e ia nga waahanga iti e mahi ana i runga i te atamira me nga opera hopi TV. I puta tana kiriata tuatahi i roto i te whakaari rangatahi iti-pūtea The Cry Baby Killer (1958), i te mahi taitara. Mo te tekau tau e whai ake nei, he mahi tahi a Nicholson me te kaihanga o te kiriata, a Roger Corman. I whakahaeretia e Corman a Nicholson i etahi wa, ko te mea nui i roto i Te Toa Iti o Horrors, hei turoro niho masochistic me te kaiwhakamate a Wilbur Force, me te The Raven, The Terror i reira ia e mahi ana i tetahi rangatira French i whakapohehehia e te wairua kino, me Te Whakamate o te Ra o St. Valentine.  Pātai: I whetū a Nicholson i tana kiriata tuatahi?
