This one really stings. RIP Mr. Miller.

 

[Sandstar]

Well, shit. Rest in peace. 90's a good age, tho.

 

[Shadybiz]

Ah that sucks. I was just watching The 'Burbs a few weeks ago, too.

 

[Pixieking]

Awww... One of those actors who is amusing/memorable in pretty much everything he appeared in.

 

[InspectaDekka]

R.I.P. Chilling with Glen Shadix up in the kingdom now

 

[ItRhymesWithDoom]

He will be missed in movies.

For the life of me, I can't think of a single film that Dick Miller appeared in that wasn't immediately improved with his presence. Even in the smallest bit parts, his warmth was enough to light up the screen for the one scene he was in. RIP to a genuine titan of character actors.

 

[Everybody Lies]

RIP Murray Futterman.

 

[Etrian Oddity]

It's a shame, but 90 years old is a good long life. We'd be lucky to get that.

 

[Chojin]

Damn... What a loss. Dick miller was always there for Dante, for better or worse.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Damn shame. Always loved seeing him pop up in fun roles. Such a gem for genre fans to watch. RIP good sir.

This is so true. I remember watching that awful Amityville: It's About Time where an evil clock drives a family insane. Such a ridiculous movie, then Dick Miller pops up in a bit part & totally shines. Give the most memorable scene in the movie.

His work on Deep Space Nine was always be a favourite of mine. RIP

Took me a while to remember what i saw him in but yeah that was the role that first popped into my head when i saw his picture.

 

[Stiler]

Damn, I loved him in so many movies, RIP.

One of my favorites of his was the Tales from the Crypt movie, "Demon Knight."

I've seen this guy in so many movies throughout the decades and I never knew his name. I feel ashamed because I do know the names of quite a few "that guy"s.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Don't mess with Murray Fudderman!
RIP.

*sniff*

 

[SinkFla]

Ah I fucking loved this dude. Rip :(

 

[Commedieu]

feels like an uncle died or something. Rip

 

[Travo]

Aww man, RIP. I always loved that he returned in Gremlins 2 and fought that one gremlin into the wet cement.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

It seemed like this guy was in every 80s film playing that new Yorker.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Dude was in Chopping Mall too.

Pretty much any B horror movie you can think of really. RIP.

 

[UltimateHigh]

A a staple in John Dante's films. Always a great presence

 

[shaneo632]

"Wrong."

Chopping Mall is one of my fave B horror movies.

He was also in the original Corman Little Shop of Horrors, which I watched for the first time recently.

RIP.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Dick Miller was fucking awesome, RIP.

 

[Sanjuro]

It's my fault guys. I was just thinking about watching his documentary the other day.

 

[Rydeen]

The ultimate "that guy" actor, practically in all of my favorite movies.

 

[Hilbert]

Man, he was everywhere. I just saw him in the 1956 movie It Conquered The World.

 

[FnordChan]

Farewell to one of the all time great character actors. Dick Miller made every single film he appeared in better just by being there and appeared in a helluva lot of cult classics. My personal favorite line of his, as the police chief in Rock 'N Roll High School: "They're ugly. Ugly, ugly people." RIP Dick.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

RIP to one of the great "That guy!" actors out there.

 

[Replicant]

I just checked to see if he was alive 2 weeks ago.

RIP.

 

[Blader]

Great guy. Sad news.

Everyone should check out A Bucket of Blood. One of the rare good Roger Corman films, and probably one of the few movies where Miller was the lead. It's kind of a half-parody, weirdo beatnik slasher film, but it's fun.

[AgentOtaku]

Wow, i also honestly thought he'd passed away years ago
Yeah, dude got to live a long life and was indeed awesome

RIP

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

I remember his roles in movies like Small Soldiers and Tales from The Crypt Demon Knight.

 

[wenis]

RIP to a 🐐

Thanks for the flicks

 

[Violence Jack]

Glad I got to meet him at a few horror conventions over the years. RIP to a legend.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

Oh wow...classic character actor.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Just saw this. RIP. I may close early today.

 

[Laserdisk]

That Guy indeed
