THAT GUY DICK MILLER is a funny, candid, and upbeat look at Dick’s career, which spans six decades with more than 175 motion pictures, four television series, and over 2,000 television appearances.
In this unprecedented documentary, we follow Dick from his first big role in A Bucket of Blood to The Terror, on to Gremlins 1 & 2 , New York New York, The Terminator, and Demon Knight, then to the “Fame” TV series, and finally, up to some of his latest roles in Cutaways and Burying the Ex.
Dick has worked for such noted directors as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Ernest Dickerson, Sam Fuller, and Jonathan Kaplan, to name a few; and over the years he has shared the screen with Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Boris Karloff, Ray Milland, Jada Pinkett Smith, Julianna Margulies, Kim Novak, David Carradine, and many more.
