When news breaks of the passing of any of our cinematic heroes, you typically default to maybe one or two of their most notable features to revisit in their memory. With actor Dick Miller, literally hundreds of his memorable roles, featured or cameo, could pop into mind. His work spanned decades and genres, giving nearly 200 movie roles from which to pull favorites.

A larger-than-life personality who made each role uniquely his own, regardless of the size, Miller was genuinely a one of a kind film fixture and icon. Known for his character work, he was a definitive scene stealer every single time. His loss stings regardless of classification, but in the horror community, this loss cuts deep. From the beginning of his career, he quickly became intertwined with horror, influencing key directors that would shape the genre and delivering iconic performances that would prove formative on many budding horror fans.

Dick Miller was a great actor. Him and Vic Marrow were twin brothers from different mothers. Dick took over the Twilight Zone role after Vic and two child actors were tragically killed on set.

One of my favorite Joe Dante movies. Dick Miller appeared in the majority of Dante's films starting with Dante's first feature Hollywood Boulevard (1976), the last Dante film Miller was in was 2014's Burying The Ex.

Very sad :(
