MA - University of Southern Mississippi Miles Christopher Doleac (born November 26, 1975) is an American actor, director, writer and producer.

He has had acting roles in several films and television shows since 2011 including Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, Treme, Sleepy Hollow, American Horror Story, Salem, Complications, Roots, and several episodes of the CW's Containment.

Doleac founded Historia films in 2014,[1] the production company which produced The Historian (2014), The Hollow (2016), Demons (2017), Hallowed Ground, The Dinner Party,[2] Demigod, and Open (2023).

[10] He completed his dissertation on Pope Gregory I and his role "in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor.

"[11] Until 2019, Doleac served as an assistant professor of classics, while also teaching film courses in the School of Mass Communications and Journalism at the University of Southern Mississippi.

It opened theatrically in limited release in New York, Los Angeles, and Doleac's home state of Mississippi, where it was shown in Hattiesburg and D'Iberville starting on November 7.

In particular, Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote "While the dialogue is colorful and the acting strong, this is ultimately a 90-minute neo-noir stretched unnecessarily past two hours."

Expressing a more positive opinion, Sherilyn Connelly of SF Weekly stated that "Miles Doleac's The Hollow is a fun little genre potboiler that gets it right.

[53][54] In 2017, he shot a lead role in Active Entertainment's Mississippi River Sharks and appears in an episode of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire.

[citation needed] In Spring 2017, Doleac took to the stage again, playing the role of 'King Arthur' in Lerner and Loewe's Camelot, in two different productions (with Hattiesburg Civic Light Opera and the Natchez Festival of Music).

A film about Vera and Alice, a young married couple trying to rebuild their relationship after an affair, who take a trip to a secluded cabin, where they stumble into a longstanding blood feud between the Native American owners of the property and the neighboring clan, who obsessively guard their land and punish those who trespass on it in gruesome and terrifying ways.

"[60] Expressing a more critical opinion, Niall Browne of Movies in Focus writes that, while the film "gets a few things right", it "ultimately fails to serve-up the requisite amount of tension to deliver the goods.

It was released on October 15, 2021[63] and is about a woman (Nichols) who travels with her husband (Myles) to her birthplace in Germany's Black forest upon the death of her grandfather (London), only to find a terrifying secret awaits them.

[64] Initial reviews were mostly positive, with Michael Talbot-Haynes of Film Threat writing, 'Demigod is an excellent addition to the folk horror sub-genre and a remarkable example of what small productions can pull off these days.

The plot outlines a woman in a troubled marriage who falls for a former teen heartthrob, fallen from industry favor while having nagging (and empowering) hallucinations about fronting an 80's New Wave Band.

Early reviews were positive, with Bill Arceneaux writing "an extremely impressive and very surprising watch due to the stripping away of the expectations of genre, blending the best of all categories into one piece… Open is my favorite of Doleac’s movies.
