Dick Miller

Dick Miller is my favorite kind of actor, the guy whose face you know instantly even if his name never made a marquee. More than 180 films is staggering, and the fact that he appeared in every single movie Joe Dante directed tells you everything about the loyalty he inspired. He came up through Roger Corman's world and then turned up for Cameron and Scorsese too, which means he quietly threaded through decades of American film history. I love that kind of career. He never needed to be the lead to be essential, and when he died in 2019 it felt like the end of a particular working-actor era.
