Dick Miller is the last of the great American character actors. Whether sharing the screen with Nicholson, DeNiro, Schwarzenegger or The Ramones, Dick has been stealing scenes since his screen debut in 1955. He has worked with some of the great directors: Scorsese, Corman, Fuller, Dante, Cameron, Demme and more. Every moviegoer knows his face, but few know his name and even fewer know his story - an aspiring writer turned accidental actor. For the first time, Dick Miller has allowed filmmakers incredible access to his life and home for this funny and unexpected story. Joining him are the directors, producers, co-stars and friends who have helped make him Hollywoods leading "that guy".
The unbelievable true story about famed-character actor Dick Miller, born in the Bronx, whose acting career began with a series of Roger Corman-lensed B-movie extravaganzas of the 50s and 60s. At the dawn of the 1970s, following Millers toughest career slump, an unexpected career move by Corman opened the gates for new filmmakers to enter the industry. A good-luck charm for these passionate, rag-tag group of Corman-disciples at New World Pictures - our man Miller became the go-to guy for these first-time filmmakers working under Cormans tight budgets and ridiculous shooting schedules. From big bad mamas to killer piranhas - Dick Millers acting career was back on track and a new series of working relationships was forged that continues to date in over 200 movies.
