[1] A graduate of Dickinson College and Columbia University, Capice began his broadcasting career at Benton & Bowles in New York City, where he worked from 1954 to 1969.
[2] At Lorimar, he produced several telefilms and miniseries, including Sybil, for which Capice, Peter Dunne and Jacqueline Babbin received an Emmy Award in 1977.
[3] Additionally, he worked with television series, most notably overseeing the creation of Eight Is Enough (1977) and Dallas (1978), for both of which he was named executive producer as they went into production.
Dallas grew to be TV's top rated series in the early 1980s, and Capice was nominated for Emmys in 1980 and 1981 (losing to Lou Grant and Hill Street Blues, respectively).
Since some of the season finales of Dallas were among the most watched and highly anticipated TV shows in the world, Capice's name became very widely recognized.
