Designer. Sometimes known as Ray Cusick or Raymond P. Cusick.
Most famous for designing the Daleks for BBC Television's Doctor Who.
Also BBC staff designer responsible for set design on a large number of Doctor Who stories, designing not just futuristic settings but also historical sets and diorama. Cusick worked on a large variety of television programmes for the BBC including comedy, variety, drama, single plays, and films.
As Cusick was a BBC employee at the time he designed the Daleks, he was paid a salary and not on a royalty basis. Given the large amount of revenue generated by merchandise featuring Cusick's Dalek design, some think that he should have been paid a royalty (as was script writer Terry Nation, who created the Daleks as a fictional entity but not their design or appearance), but this was not in the terms of his contract. The BBC did however recognise his contribution with an ex-gratia payment and Cusick himself never asks for more money; just to be recognised as the designer.
