THAT GUY DICK MILLER! Dick and Lainie Miller in person April 3+4!
NEW YORK THEATRICAL PREMIERE RUN! DICK MILLER IN PERSON!
Elijah Drenner
THAT GUY DICK MILLER
2014, 91 min, digital. Distributed by IndieCan Entertainment Canada; special thanks to Ryan Levey and Avi Federgreen.
You know the face, and have heard the voice, but just can't figure out where. The character actor's character actor, Dick Miller is nothing short of a living legend to those who delight in his every bit role, in a career that to date encompasses more than 175 feature films and over 2,000 television appearances. The new documentary, THAT GUY DICK MILLER, performs the Nobel-Award-worthy public service of shining a spotlight on this national treasure, one of the most reliably inspired and omnipresent actors of the past 50-plus years.

Making his debut in Roger Corman's 1955 western, APACHE WOMAN (in which he was cast as both a cowboy and an Indian!), Miller went on to appear in literally dozens of films produced or directed by Corman over the next few decades. He was a dependable presence in the low-budget wonders released by American International Pictures and Corman's own New World Pictures throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. One can barely imagine iconoclastic director Joe Dante's entire career without Miller, who appears in every single one of his feature films (including PIRANHA, THE HOWLING, and GREMLINS). Add to this already impressive list his work in everything from THE DIRTY DOZEN and TERMINATOR to Samuel Fuller's WHITE DOG and Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS and you have a resume that is as bizarre as it is massively impressive. How many actors have such a dynamic and demented range?

THAT GUY DICK MILLER incorporates spot-on clips of Dick's copious work as well as interviews featuring colleagues and fans including Corman, Dante, Mary Woronov, Robert Forster, and others. But best of all, it features Dick Miller's story in his own words, as well as those of his irrepressible wife, Lainie, who's been with him since the very start of his career. A candid and hilarious portrait of a great performer who remains, at age 86, as mischievous, irreverent, and talented as ever, THAT GUY DICK MILLER makes it amply clear why "that guy's in everything!"

We're delighted to welcome Dick and Lainie Miller, who will be here in person for opening weekend, Friday & Saturday, April 3 & 4! The opening night screening on Friday, April 3 will be hosted and moderated by Michael Gingold of Fangoria magazine. And director Elijah Drenner will present the screenings on Sunday & Monday, April 5 & 6!
