  • Comment: Both listed works and sources are not significant for the actors notability standards and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else; specifically, the sources are simply announcements, listings and mentions. SwisterTwister talk 20:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Early life and academic career

Doleac was born and raised in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.[1] He attended Hattiesburg High School. While there, he was cast in a performance of Tennessee Williams' A Street Car Named Desire.[2]

He attended the University of North Carolina School of Arts and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in drama.[3] He went on to attend University of Southern Mississippi, graduating with a Master of Arts degree in History.[4] In the early 2000s, Doleac moved to California to pursue an acting career; he was unsuccessful and instead chose to further pursue his academic career.[5]

In 2005, he moved to New Orleans to study as a graduate fellow at the Murphy Insititute, part of Tulane University.[6] While working on his doctorate he was also a visiting student at Goethe-Institute in Munich (summer 2007), American School of Classical Studies-Athens (summer 2008), and American Academy in Rome (summer 2009).[7] He earned a PhD in Ancient History from the School of Liberal Arts.[8] 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."[9]

Doleac is currently an assistant professor at the School of Mass Communications and Journalism in University of Southern Mississppi.[10] In 2014, he published a book about Alexander the Great titled In the Footsteps of Alexander: The King Who Conquered the Ancient World.[11][12][13]

Film and television career

In July 2012, Doleac founded Historia Films, an independent production company.[3][14] Between 2011 and 2014, he had small starring roles in several films such as Storm War See Girl Run and Mighty Fine.[15][16] He has had guest appearances in several TV series, including: Treme, Breakout Kings, and Sleepy Hollow.[17][18][19] Doleac directed a 30-second commercial for a Hattiesburg dog park's entry into PetSafe’s Bark for Your Park contest in 2014. The commercial featured Hattiesburg's own Brett Favre.[20]

The Historian (2014) was the first feature length film from Historia Films.[5] It first premiered May 20 New York City's SoHo International Film Festival.[21] It was also featured in the Los Angeles's Dances With Films 17.[22][23]  On July 11, I had the honor of opening the Long Island International Film Expo in Bellmore, New York. On October 20, it was featured at the Gulfport Sun and Sand Film Festival. Also in Mississippi, it was shown locally at theaters in Hattiesburg and D'Iberville starting on November 7.[24]

The Historian garnered mixed receptions from the few critics that reviewed it.[25] Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times stated, "Despite low production values, The Historian [...] sustains curiosity over what [...] is a long running time."[26] Serena Donadoni of The Village Voice derides Doleac as "a filmmaker [who] can't reconcile all his story lines."[27]

Also 2014, Doleac became the director of the FestivalSouth at the Grand 18 theater in Hattiesburg.[8][24] He was asked to join the team organizing the festival by Mark Lupito, the festivals artistic director. Doleac was tasked with acquiring celebrity guests to fill the festivals panels. The festival featured films that have either been filmed in Mississippi or made by Mississippians.[24]

In 2014 and 2015, Doleac appeared in two episodes of FX's American Horror Story.[28][29] In 2015, he had guest appearance rolls in Banshee, Salem, and Complications.[30][31][32] He also appeared in The Astronaut Wives Club and the film Vacation.[33][34] In May 2015, he starred in a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar. Interestingly, he swapped between the roles of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot with co-star Joseph VanZandt throughout the four day of performances.[35]

In June 2015, Doleac began filming The Hollow with executive producer Lisa Bruce.[36][37] The Hollow is a mystery thriller about FBI agent investigating a Mississippi triple homicide which included the daughter of a US congressman.[5][38] Much of the filming was done in Doleac's hometown and other towns around the Pine Belt in Mississippi.[39][40] The movie stars: James Callis, Christiane Seidel, Jeff Fahey, William Sadler, William Forsythe, and Doleac himself, who also produced, wrote and directed it.[41][39][42] Doleac played a local sheriff with very questionable morals.[43]

In February 2016, The Hollow was acquired by Uncork’d Entertainment for distribution.[44] It was released in select theaters and video on demand on October 7, 2016.[39][45] The movie received generally negative reviews from critics. In particular, Noel Murray of Los Angeles Times said the "90-minute neo-noir stretched unnecessarily past two hours." Expressing the minority opinion, Sherilyn Connelly of SF Weekly stated that "Miles Doleac's The Hollow is a fun little genre potboiler that gets it right."[46]

Since 2015, Doleac had rolls in Underground, Game of Silences, Roots, and The Magnificent Seven among others.[46][47] He had a recurring roll in The CW limited series Containment, appearing in five out of the thirteen episodes.[48][49][50] He also appears in horror thriller Don't Kill It, released in August 2016.[51][52]
