Career

In 1995, Miller relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He has stated about his rocky road to stardom that "it was a long time in the coming and there were a lot of upsets and a lot of failures and roadblocks, but I couldn’t walk away from it. I needed it like I needed air, it was just something I had to do."

Miller's first starring role was as the sensitive, introverted David Scott in ABC's mini-series Dinotopia. After appearing in a few minor (极少)television roles, he moved on to co-star in the 2003 film The Human Stain, playing the younger version of the Anthony Hopkins character, Coleman Silk. He identified(使…等同于) strongly with the core（核心） dilemma（困境） of the movie, being that of a man struggling with his heritage（继承权）. Miller worked extensively(范围广的) on the role, not only in researching Anthony Hopkins, but by embarking（从事） on a 4 month regimen （食疗）to accurately portray Silk as a boxer.

Miller's first TV appearance was as student-turned-sea monster Gage Petronzi on Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Go Fish", 1998).

In 2005, Miller was cast as Michael Scofield in Fox Network's television drama Prison Break. He played the role of a caring brother who created an elaborate scheme to help his brother, Lincoln Burrows escape death row after being found guilty of a crime he did not commit. His character had a full upper body (front and back) tattoo. Covering both the front of his torso and his back, along with both arms from shoulders to wrists, the special effects for the tattoo took over four hours to apply. His performance in the show earned him a 2005 Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series.

He played a minor（极少的） role of a doctor and friend of main character Michael Corvin in the movie Underworld.

Miller appeared in two Mariah Carey music videos, "It's Like That" as a party guest and "We Belong Together" as her love interest.
