Dick Miller passed away yesterday at the age of 90 from natural causes according to The Hollywood Reporter.
You might not have known Dick Miller by his name, but you definitely know him by his face. He was the go-to character actor for Roger Corman and Joe Dante. He was seen in their movies like Sorority Girl, Apache Women, War of the Satellites, A Bucket of Blood and Piranha, Gremlins, The ‘Burbs, Innerspace, The Howling, Rock ‘n’ Roll High School and Burying the Ex. He worked several other directors in horror classics like Chopping Mall, Little Shop of Horrors and Night of the Creeps.
If those movies are not enough to recognize him, then he has a long list of TV shows on his resume too. Shows like Taxi, Fame, Gunsmoke, Soap, Police Squad, Who’s the Boss, The Flash and Sister, Sister.
Those are just a few of his many credits, so it makes sense that he never stopped acting during his 65-year career. Plus, he has a documentary made about him called That Guy Dick Miller.
Today, let’s put his name to his face and watch one of his many great movies. I have seen a bunch of them already and will rewatch them again in his honor because they never get old.
