Anthony Lucero (born November 1, 1967 in Los Angeles, California) is an American poet. He is also known for his work as an actor and more recently as a film director.
Writing
Chiron Review published Lucero's "The Living Party" in 1991 and he was widely published in the small press world over the next decade.[1] Citing illness, he contributed less over the coming years but he continued to write.[2] Editor and archivist Geof Huth has called his work "Incomparable." He has two titles due out in 2014: dear little missy and The Clown.
Lucero has written several screenplays including The Clown and an adaptation of Richard Brautigan's, A Confederate General from Big Sur, for Benicio Del Toro.
Acting
A guest starring role on NBC's Unsub in 1989 was followed by notable performances in such films as HBO's The Image, Pump Up the Volume (Golden Space Needle Award at the Seattle FF, Audience Award at the Deauville FF), Silent Rain (Academy Award winning short) and Molder of Dreams. Lucero would later star in the critically acclaimed, Loved (Independent Spirit Award nominee for Best Film, Grand Prix spécial Deauville nominee), opposite William Hurt and Robin Wright.
Directing
Lucero is currently directing a documentary on Richard Brautigan.[3][4] He has also been directing a longer reaching documentary, Tomás the Red Haired Angel, on the Czech clown Tomás Kubínek.
