It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Cullen Studios actor and animator Bill Miller. While vacationing in the midwest, Bill was stricken with a brain aneurysm from which he was unable to recover. Bill's association with Cullen Studios began with the animated segment on the train tracks in Killer Klowns From Kansas On Krack and his own Upchuck Man segments on Charles' television shows.

Bill's role grew from animator to actor with his memorable performance as Frank in The Dead Have Risen, a role he reprised in The South Will Rise Again. Other than Charles himself, Bill holds the record for appearances in Cullen films with his acting and animation contributions in every Cullen film from KKFKOK through Curse Of The Mummy Cat. "Bill was the ultimate collaborator", said Charles, "if you needed 2 minutes of animation Bill gave you 20 minutes, if you needed 2 bullet holes, Bill gave you 10". Bill left an indelible impression with all of us at Cullen Studios and his presence will be greatly missed.
