There are no people in the world who would not like to watch movies. In each cinematic film, directors, screenwriters and, of course, actors are trying to create a real story, which sometimes turns out, and sometimes not. In this case, a lot depends on the professionalism of both the actors and other people directly participating in the film. Today we’ll talk about an actor like Richard (Dick) Miller. Films, a biography and much more will also be presented in this article.
Life story
Richard Miller was born in December 1928 in one of New York's boroughs. Only at the beginning of his life was the hero a soldier who was professionally engaged in boxing. In the 1950s, Richard moved from his native Bronx to such a chic city like Los Angeles. There the hero was noticed by Roger Corman, who invited him to play several roles in his projects. So began the life path of Dick Miller in cinema, because he worked at that very studio for another 20 years.
Many well-known directors confidently declare that among all the characters played by Richard, the most famous is Walter Paisley - the person around whom the events of the 1959 film "Bucket of Blood" revolve. In addition, firstly, Miller portrayed this hero in many of his next tapes, and secondly, this role was the only main one in the life of an American actor.
Dick is also one of Joe Dante 's most beloved actors , who gave him a role in almost every film. In addition, it is worth noting that the actor has collaborated more than once with Jonathan Kaplan and Robert Zemeckis. Unfortunately, there is no information about Dick Miller’s personal life, so it’s hard to say whether he is alone or not.
Actor, screenwriter and director
In 1994, Dick Miller, whose full filmography includes a large number of works, starred in the film Pulp Fiction, but this episode was decided to be cut because it was quite long. It should be noted that in the circle of cinematographers of Miller, almost everyone considers a person who should play one episode or scene, since only in such short moments can one see his professionalism.
The hero of this article loves cinematic films shot in the genre of horror or science fiction. For this simple reason, well-known directors consider it their duty to invite Dick Miller for at least a few seconds in their films.
In addition, Richard Miller is also a screenwriter and director. He has already introduced several quite popular series in America and other countries. Dick Miller, the filmography, whose biography is presented in this article, was also nominated for the Saturn Prize. And now let's discuss the plot of films in which the actor starred.
The film "My Girl is a Zombie" (2014)

The relations of young people changed very much after they decided to live in the same house. So, Max understood for himself that his girlfriend is an angry, stubborn lady who wants to control everyone in everything. Yes, the hero wants to part with Evelyn, but does not do this, as he is afraid of the consequences.
And here fate intervenes in the lives of the heroes of the film: Evelyn dies, and Max has the opportunity to start life from scratch. After some time, the young man gets acquainted with the beautiful Olivia and begins to meet her. Soon they come together and begin a real family life, but Evelyn herself, being dead, decides to rise from her own grave in order to return the love of her boyfriend ...

The movie “Looney Tunes: Back in Action” (2003)
This is no less interesting film with the direct participation of Dick Miller. So, the plot of the film tells the story of the famous Duffy Duck, who is already simply tired of playing only secondary roles. The hero of the film understands that all the roles go to Bugs Bunny while he plays somewhere in the background.
Duffy Duck appeals to the famous Warner Brothers corporation to demand his own film there, however, hopes of creating his own project collapse immediately after management decides to fire him.
Together with our hero, the leadership dismisses the guard who accidentally did something wrong. Probably their careers are already over, but no - Bugs Bunny comes to the rescue. Why is he doing this? The thing is that he is simply dissatisfied with the fact that, firstly, now he is forced to star in special educational films, and secondly, he is bored of working without his, maybe not his best, but good friend Duffy Duck. Now the heroes of the film have to do a lot to bring everything back.
The film "Highway 666" (2001)

For this reason, here we will discuss only a few films, among which the painting “Highway 666”, awarded in 2001, is also very popular.
So, the plot of the film tells the viewer about a strange section of a fairly old highway, which is popular among local people, let's say, notoriety. What is the reason for this? The fact is that a very long time ago, many people were killed on this highway. They were prisoners who went to work to build a road. Today, several representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are harassing a dangerous prisoner who managed to escape.
