Mini Biography

Writer/movie director/manufacturer Richard Compton was created on March 2, 1938, in Philadelphia, Pa. He started his profession in the first 60s making federal government propaganda films for america Information Company. His debut feature The French Method was hardly ever released in the us. Compton implemented this film using the nifty biker flick Angels Die Hard (1970), that was the initial movie to become released by Roger Corman’s ” NEW WORLD ” Pictures. Compton after that did the wonderful and unjustly forgotten psycho Vietnam veterans exploitation champion Welcome House, Soldier Children (1971). He have scored his biggest strike with the excellent cult traditional Macon State Series (1974); the unforeseen enormous box workplace success of the movie begot a small number of very similar Southern-fried “don’t decrease to Dixie” drive-in images, such as Jackson State Jail (1976), A LITTLE Town in Tx (1976), and Problem in Badham State (1976). Both tepid semi-sequel Go back to Macon State (1975) starring then-unknowns Nick Nolte and Don Johnson as well as the totally so-so post-nuke sci-fi survivalist opus Ravagers (1979) had been regrettably mediocre, although Assault in Heaven (1977) was a good and gripping thriller. In the first 1980s, Compton started directing increasingly more for tv; he’s done many made-for-TV images and numerous shows of such Television shows as Peacemakers (2003), JAG (1995), The Lone Gunmen (2001), Charmed (1998), Sliders (1995), Profiler (1996), Babylon 5 (1994), L.A. Laws (1986), The Commish (1991), DO-IT-YOURSELF (1991), Baywatch (1989), Miami Vice (1984), Superstar Trek: ANOTHER Era (1987), The Equalizer (1985), Hill Road Blues (1981), Resort (1983), and T.J. Hooker (1982). Compton also do some performing in the 1960s and ’70s; his performing credits include visitor areas on two shows of the initial Star Trek (1966) Television show as well as the enjoyably trashy The Sadistic Hypnotist (1969). He was wedded to celebrity Veronica Cartwright. He passed away at age group 69 on August 11, 2007.
