With a career spanning more than 60 years, Miller has made hundreds of on screen appearances, beginning in the 1950s with legendary director and producer Roger Corman.

Oh, this kills me. I guess everyone's number is up sometime, but... Oh, man. You will sincerely be missed, Dick.

A goddamned legend! So many ****ing epic movies under this man's belt! Chopping Mall, Night of the Creeps, A Bucket of Blood, Rock 'n' Roll High School, Big Bad Mama and on and on and on! Thank you for your service to B-Movies!

Damn. So many memorable film roles, and one of the infinite pleasures of watching any given Joe Dante film was waiting to see Miller make his appearance and steal any scene he was in...

RIP

One of the greatest character actors of all-time.

R.I.P. Mr. Futterman

Joe Dante:

Quote:

I'm devastated to report that one of my best friends and most treasured collaborators has passed away. I "grew up" (kinda) watching Dick Miller in movies from the 50s on and was thrilled to have him in my first movie for @RogerCorman

...We hit it off and every script thereafter I always looked for a role for Dick--not just because he was my friend but because I loved watching him act! But he leaves behind over 100 performances, a bio & a doc--not bad for a guy who hardly ever enjoyed a starring role.

Leonard Maltin:

Quote:

Rest in peace, #DickMiller, star of Roger Corman‘s Bucket of Blood and good luck charm for so many Corman protégés for decades to follow. His presence in a movie always brought a smile to my face. Thank you sir.

Sad to hear. RIP Always remember him from Gremlins 1 and 2.

The Gremlins finally got Mr. Futterman.

Goddamnit! Another one to file in the "I was hoping he'd hit a full century" list alongside Christopher Lee!
