- Richard "Dick" Miller (born December 25, 1928) is an American character actor who has appeared in many films, particularly those produced by Roger Corman, and later in films of directors who started their careers with Corman, including Joe Dante and James Cameron (specifically, he has appeared in every one of Joe Dante's movies).
- Dick Miller (b. 1928) is a character actor who usually specializes in playing weathered small-time crooks, guards, bartenders, and blue-collar types. He was part of the original cast of the Broadway musical It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman as "Suspect 2" and also understudied the part of Max Mencken. He guest starred on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as Lois Lane's uncle Mike in "Church of Metropolis."
- Miller was born in The Bronx, New York. He served in the U.S. Navy and earned a prize title as a middleweight boxer. He performed on Broadway and moved to California in 1952 seeking work as a writer. He became friends with director Roger Corman, who cast him in several of his low-budget horror films. In particular, Miller created the character of Walter Paisley, an artist whose sculptures are suspiciously lifelike, in 1959's A Bucket of Blood and several subsequent films.
- Miller is a veteran of campy and often humorous science fiction and horror movies. He began as a regular in Roger Corman films and, later, in films directed by Joe Dante. He made his film debut in Corman's Apache Woman in 1955, and would go on to work with Corman in such cult B-movie classics as It Conquered the World (1956), The Gunslinger (1956, with William Schallert), Not of This Earth (1957), A Bucket of Blood (1959), The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), Atlas (1961, starring Michael Forest), X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963, with John Hoyt), The Wild Angels (1966, with Michael J. Pollard), A Time for Killing (1967, with Kenneth Tobey), The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967, with Celia Lovsky), and Big Bad Mama (1974, with William Shatner, Noble Willingham, and William O'Connell).

Pollard), A Time for Killing (1967, with Kenneth Tobey), The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967, with Celia Lovsky), and Big Bad Mama (1974, with William Shatner, Noble Willingham, and William O'Connell). One of Miller's earlier roles was also the film The Undead (1957) which would later be featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and also involved time travel (a recurring theme in Star Trek). Since then, Miller has become part of director Joe Dante's informal acting troupe, along with fellow Star Trek alumni Henry Gibson, Wendy Schaal, Kenneth Tobey, Schallert, and, of course, Star Trek: Voyager star Robert Picardo. Of all of these, however, only Miller has appeared in every film Dante has ever directed, including The Howling (1981, with Picardo, Tobey, and Noble Willingham), Gremlins (1984, with Schallert, Tobey, Keye Luke, Jonathan Banks, Zach Galligan and composer Jerry Goldsmith), Explorers (1985, with Picardo and James Cromwell), Innerspace (1987, with Picardo, Schaal, Schallert, Gibson, Tobey, Mark L. Taylor, Richard McGonagle, and Andrea Martin; with music by Goldsmith), Amazon Women on the Moon (1987, with Picardo, Bernie Casey, Ronny Cox, William Marshall, Martin Goslins, Karen Montgomery, Ed Begley, Jr., and Larry Hankin), The 'burbs (1989, with Picardo, Gibson, and Schaal), Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990, with Picardo, Tobey, Gibson, John Glover, Ron Fassler, Zach Galligan, Keye Luke, and Jerry Goldmith), Matinee (1993, with Picardo, Schallert, and David Clennon), Small Soldiers (1998, with Picardo, Schaal, Kirsten Dunst, Frank Langella, and Michael McKean), and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003, with Picardo, George Murdock, Ron Perlman, and Marc Lawrence). Miller has also appeared in all of Dante's made-for-television movies, most notably 1997's The Second Civil War, which also featured Picardo and Schallert, as well as Joanna Cassidy, Brian Keith, and Ron Perlman. Miller also appeared with Picardo in the non-Dante directed films Get Crazy (1983, starring Malcolm McDowell and Ed Begley, Jr.), Dead Heat (1988, starring Joe Piscopo and Keye Luke), and Motorama (1991). Miller's extensive credits also include appearances in such popular films as Truck Turner (1974, with Nichelle Nichols), New York, New York (1977), All the Right Moves (1983, with Gary Graham and Terry O'Quinn), and The Terminator (1984, with Paul Winfield, Earl Boen, and Brian Thompson). His television projects include the 1970 TV movie The Andersonville Trial (with William Shatner, Whit Bissell, Robert Easton, Kenneth Tobey, and Ian Wolfe), the 1984 mini-series V: The Final Battle (with Richard Herd, Andrew Prine, and Mark L. Taylor), and appearances on such TV series as The Untouchables, Bonanza, Taxi (with Christopher Lloyd), Police Squad!, NYPD Blue, and the sci-fi/horror anthology series Tales from the Darkside, Amazing Stories, and Freddy's Nightmares.

In an episode of Justice League Unlimited, he voiced Oberon. Miller's long career included colorful roles in several Roger Corman movies, such as Not of This Earth (as a vaccuum salesman), A Bucket of Blood (in the lead role of nebbish Walter Paisley, a name reprised as an in-joke for different Dick Miller characters in other movies), and The Little Shop of Horrors (as the strange flower-eater Burson Fouch). In addition to various B-movie and exploitation pictures, Miller's film credits include The Dirty Dozen, New York, New York, and several of Joe Dante's movies (notably as the occult bookseller in The Howling and Mr. Futterman in the Gremlins movies).

He also became well-acquainted with Corman's associates James Cameron and Joe Dante; he has appeared in Cameron's original Terminator (which also featured Linda Hamilton, Earl Boen, Paul Winfield and Lance Henriksen), and has had a part in every film made by Dante (opposite Robert Picardo and occasionally Kevin McCarthy), including Piranha (which was later remade in 3-D and featured Jerry O'Connell), Gremlins and Gremlins 2 (with John Glover) as chauvinistic handyman Murray Futterman, Amazon Women on the Moon, Innerspace, Matinee, and Small Soldiers. Other connections to the DC Universe include playing the character of Fosnight on the live-action Flash TV series, and an appearance on an episode of Lois & Clark. An instantly-recognizable screen face, he was cast by Quentin Tarantino in Pulp Fiction (which also featured Phil LaMarr) as "Monster Joe," a salvage yard operator with a sideline in disposing of bodies for Harvey Keitel's Winston Wolf, but his scene was unfortunately deleted from the final cut.
