Crichton was better than "a writer known for SF but made an impact elsewhere." He was known as a great / successful writer - period. He transcended genre. You originally asked:
"Can you name any other writer with such an incredible resume?"
The answer is "yes, Michael Crichton."
Don't keep changing the specifics so you can end up with JMS as the "most incredible writer" prize. You will never find any two writers with an identical resume. But I'll bet JMS wouldn't mind as impressive a career as Crichton:
15 novels, 8 science fiction; 5 non-fiction books; created one of the most successful TV shows in recent history; and was the writer/ director and/or producer of 13 films. Not only that, Michael Crichton is a name that people outside SF fandom know. A household name, actually.
