- Actor

Greg Dorchak is an actor, writer, and filmmaker based in Austin, Texas. He's appeared in numerous feature films, commonly in offbeat roles where his comedic skills serve him best. He's highly adaptable and just as likely to show up as a polished yet unscrupulous executive, eccentric high school teacher, or childish dad.
Comedy was an early love for Dorchak. In his teens, he began performing stand-up in Las Vegas where he attended the University of Nevada. Sketch comedy eventually followed, and he started an improv/sketch troupe there. He later helmed a comedy troupe in Austin.
As a filmmaker, Dorchak wrote and directed the feature-length film KOPY KINGS. The workplace comedy about misfit employees at a 24-hour copy center earned numerous awards on the festival circuit. Its lampooning of the ridiculousness of mundane customer service jobs resonated with audiences all over North America and called to mind indie cult classics from Kevin Smith and Mike Judge.
Dorchak leveraged his experience on KOPY KINGS to help newcomers to filmmaking through his book HOW TO PULL A MOVIE OUT OF YOUR ASS. In it, he guides first-time filmmakers with realistic expectations for working with little or no budget. The book is currently available on Amazon where his children's books, WHERE MONSTERS GO WHEN YOU GROW UP and WHO TOOK MY CRAYONS?! also can be found.
