Michael Parks is known as an actor's actor by his peers with a breadth of astonishing range that has allowed him to portray stunning contrasts--sometimes in the same film, like in Tusk (2014), starring in dual roles as an erudite serial killer opposite Justin Long, and as a feeble rube opposite Johnny Depp. In Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004). Parks portrayed spot-on contrasting roles as Texas Ranger Earl McGraw and the heavily accented Esteban Vihaio opposite Uma Thurman. Writers/directors, including Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino, wrote roles specifically for Parks, claiming all they need to do is "turn on the camera" to elicit a masterful performance.

Parks has played in more than 100 films and TV shows over a 50-year career. He started as a contract player in 1961 with the portrayal of the nephew of the character George MacMichael on the ABC sitcom The Real McCoys (1957). He played Adam in John Huston's 1966 movie The Bible in the Beginning... (1966). His other early roles includes appearances in two NBC series: Too Many Strangers (1962) as "Larry Wilcox" and as "Dr. Mark Reynolds" in Pressure Breakdown (1963). He also starred in The China Lake Murders (1990) and Stranger by Night (1994), playing a police officer in both.

After playing Earl McGraw in the "Kill Bill" film series he reprised the role in both segments of the film Grindhouse (2007). In Red State (2011) as villain Abin Cooper, quoting the Bible and issuing homicidal directives in the same gently insinuating voice, Parks plays a disturbingly soft-spoken psycho making the talk all the more convincing and scary with his brilliant delivery affecting a folksy "down-home" accent , knowing just how to modulate his remarks for maximum effect; most reviewers agreed with "Hollywood Reporter" writer Todd McCarthy that he is mesmerizing as he spews Cooper's hate in a way that brooks no argument . In "Tusk" as Howard Howe, a real-life ancient mariner (a role Kevin Smith tailor-made for him), "Parks has such light in his eyes, fire in his belly and a mellifluous purr in his voice" that "Variety" wrote, "it would probably be a pleasure to watch him recite the Manitoba phone book".

The doorway to a dream...

I look at fear as a gift, as a teachable moment. I face fear not as an adversary but as an opportunity. Fear has given me all that I have and continues to guide me as I move forward toward my every dream.

As a ballet dancer from the young age of four, I have spent my life telling stories. While I was able to study Shakespeare throughout high school in a significant way, Dance was my focus for many years. Pursuing dance led me to accomplish unimaginable feats such as working for the Walt Disney Company at the age of 17, heading to LA and landing a spot as a pioneer cast member of the hit TV show America's Next Top Model (Cycle 1) and performing for the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. My journey is so extraordinary in fact, that it has been featured as an E True Hollywood story!

Through it all, however, acting was and is my true passion. My dance career, though magical, led me away from this passion for a time. Before long, the fire was burning so fiercely inside of me that I had no choice but to answer it. It was scary to take this leap of faith. I asked Fear what to do and I packed my bags and headed for the Big Apple. It was in the theatre in a small company, finally performing again that I was able to get back to my roots as an actor. Through my work in a New Short Play Festival with a company that feels like home, I have garnered Best Supporting and Best Actress Nominations. I have also written and starred in the short film Misread - an incredible accomplishment I never imagined for myself. I have had the good fortune of starring in short films and studying with some of the finest teachers LA and New York can offer.

I want most to share with the world that fear can be a doorway to your dreams. I want to give back to the world for all that it has given me. I wish to perform until my body gives out. I hope to tell stories until my last breath
