Biography

Joseph James Dante Jr. (born November 28, 1946) is an American filmmaker, producer, editor and actor. His filmsβ€”notably Gremlins (1984) alongside its sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)β€”often mix the 1950s-style B movie genre with 1960s radicalism and cartoon comedy.

Dante's output includes the films Piranha (1978), The Howling (1981), Explorers (1985), Innerspace (1987), The 'Burbs (1989), Matinee (1993), Small Soldiers (1998), and Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003). His work for television and cable include the social satire The Second Civil War (1997), episodes of the anthology series Masters of Horror ("Homecoming" and "The Screwfly Solution") and Amazing Stories, as well as Police Squad! and Hawaii Five-0.
