- Dusty Sorg, born Dustin Robert Sorg, grew up in Hugo, Minnesota, a small rural town outside of St. Paul. Upon seeing Piège de cristal (1988) at the age of twelve, he instantly knew he wanted to become an actor. He began performing and soon starring in his local church productions and high school plays before graduating to area playhouses and local theater around the Twin Cities. He studied under Sandra K. Horner at the Hennepin Center of the Arts in Minneapolis, MN.
Moving to Los Angeles, CA in the summer of '99, Dusty found instant success, booking his first gig, starring in a McDonalds commercial, the first of several national TV commercials to follow. He later was hired at The World Famous Comedy Store, answering phones, while honing his unique, awkward stand-up act as a requirement of employment. He eventually made his starring role debut as Vernon Butts, one of the main accomplices of prolific serial killer William Bonin, in the cult horror film Freeway Killer (2010). He's since made many other appearances in film and TV, such as Disney's John Carter (2012), HBO's critically acclaimed Sci-fi Western Westworld (2016) and the ABC Action Comedy Series,, Stumptown (2019), based on the Graphic Novel by Greg Rucka.
