Dick Miller

Actor · Writer · Since 1959
One of cinema's great character actors, Dick Miller was a fixture of American genre and cult film for over half a century, appearing in more than a hundred pictures. A favorite of directors Roger Corman and Joe Dante, he is fondly remembered as Murray Futterman in 'Gremlins' (1984) and the gun-shop clerk in 'The Terminator' (1984), plus 'The Howling' (1981) and countless Corman quickies. The Bronx-born Miller, who died in 2019, was a beloved American character actor whose gruff, streetwise cameos became a running joke and a mark of quality.
