RIP Dick Miller

#1 Post by silverscreenselect » Thu Jan 31, 2019 8:37 am

Legendary B-movie character actor who appeared in many of the great and not-so-great cult horror, action and sci fi movies over a 60 year career, including Gremlins, The Terminator, and Piranha. If there was a B-movie Hall of Fame, he'd be in it. As part of a running gag, he played variations on the same character "Walt" in many of his movies, including the scene from "Night of the Creeps" below.

Age 90.

Classic case of someone you've seen in a hundred movies but never knew his name. The face was instantly recognizable to me.
