Jonny Lee Miller

Johnny Lee Miller is a famous British actor with about fifty different works. The blue-eyed brown-haired man was remembered by ardent film fans for his roles in the films "Mindhunters", "London Dogs", "Trainspotting", "Hackers", "The Avenger", "Dark Shadows" and other notable films.

Johnny Lee Miller was born on November 15, 1972 in the picturesque area of ​​Kingston upon Thames in southwest London. The boy grew up and was raised in a creative family: Johnny's father, Alan Miller, was an assistant director and took part in TV shows produced by the BBC, and the star's mother, Anna Lee, served in the theater.

It is also known that Lee Miller's great-grandfather was an actor and played in theatrical productions, and his son Bernard Lee, who appeared on stage at the age of 6, was remembered by viewers as the head of the MI6 secret service in the first 11 films about the adventures of the famous "agent 007 ":" Moon Rider "," You Only Live Twice "," Doctor No ", etc.

When the new Bond project was announced, Bernard was admitted to the hospital with suspected stomach cancer. Sadly, on November 16, 1981, Lee died. It is known that out of respect for the actor, the creators of the 12th James Bond film (For Your Eyes Only) did not look for a replacement, but rewrote the script according to which M is on vacation. Johnny admitted that he remembers little of his famous grandfather, because the boy was only 8 years old when he passed away.

It is not surprising that the future actor grew up in an artistic environment. We can say that Johnny's parents predetermined the future of their son: when Lee Miller was little, he and his sister went to work with mom and dad and watched with interest the filming of the children's entertainment program "Blue Peter". The boy was fascinated by the colorful world of director's cameras, spotlights, chroma key and the constant bustle of screenwriters and cameramen. Therefore, as a child, Johnny said that he would certainly become an actor. He prepared for this profession, reading film studies literature, and in his free time he learned to play the saxophone.

During his school years, Lee Miller studied at the Tiffin School - an elite educational institution for boys, located in southwest London. There, the young man managed to play in the musical "The Ragged Child", which tells the story of childhood fever in the UK, and Johnny also played in the Tiffin Swing Band.

Later, the guy, dreaming of fame, joined the National Youth Musical Theater, where he met a friend - actor Jude Law. After receiving the GCSE (certificate of secondary education), Lee Miller did not continue his studies, devoting himself entirely to acting.

Thanks to his father, Johnny Lee Miller's creative biography began early: as a child, he often flashed in serial films and television programs.

For the first time before the director's cameras, Johnny appeared at the age of 9: the boy starred in the fleeting role of the cult science fiction series Doctor Who (episode Kinda, 1982), and a year later Lee Miller played the role of Charles Price in the love drama Mansfield Park ". The actor also appeared in the TV series "East Endians" (1985), "Second Thoughts" (1991–1994), “Keeping Decency” (1990–1995), etc.

In 1995 Johnny got his ticket to big cinema: he made his debut in the feature film "Hackers" directed by Ian Softley, which brought universal recognition and fame to the actor's life. This cybernetic thriller about Generation Y follows Zero Cold Dade, who, as an 11-year-old boy, managed to infect 1507 computer systems with a virus, causing a wave of panic to sweep across New York. Even after serving a 7-year sentence in prison, Dade continued to play with software, manipulating large companies for commercial purposes.

This film will appeal to fans of the action movie "The Network" with Sandra Bullock in the title role, because the plot in "Hackers" also begins a war between "virtuous" programmers and "criminal" network hackers. In the same 1995, Johnny appeared in the immoral, but at the same time humorous film based on the novel Trainspotting by the writer Irwin Welch, where he played a loser nicknamed "Highball". The film tells about young people who, instead of a happy future, chose drugs and thus sank to the bottom of life.

It is noteworthy that for the sake of this role, Johnny radically changed his image, dyeing his hair white. Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlisle, Kelly MacDonald and other famous cinema figures also played in the crime film. By the way, of the entire cast, Johnny was the only one who did not have Scottish descent. However, despite this, Lee Miller managed to brilliantly get used to the image of a native Edinburgh.

After a series of successful roles back in 1997, the actor, together with his friends Ewan McGregor and Jude Law, founded the Natural Nylon film company, but after 7 years the joint business went bankrupt and sunk into oblivion, but this did not affect the relationship between colleagues.

We can say that Johnny has gained enviable popularity in the world of filmmaking, because eminent creators of films have approved him for the main role almost every year. Most likely, this was facilitated not only by Lee Miller's attractive appearance, but also by professionalism, because during his film career, the man showed himself as a versatile actor.

If in Trainspotting, Johnny was a lumpen thrown to the sidelines of life, then in The Avenger (2002) the young man reincarnated as Denis, who was successful and happy until the mercenaries who entered the house killed his wife. Now the main goal of the protagonist is revenge, for which he will not stop a single step.

In 2004, Lee Miller won the title role in Rennie Harlin's Mindhunters. Johnny played the charismatic agent Lucas Harper in the modern Hunger Games-style adaptation of 10 Little Indians by Agatha Christie.

In the same year, the actor starred in a love melodrama directed by Woody Allen "Melinda and Melinda". Johnny was lucky to work on the same set with Rada Mitchell, Wallace Shawn, Amanda Peet and other famous actors.

Despite a successful career in full-length, Lee Miller takes part in the filming of TV series with pleasure. For example, he appeared in the fifth season of the cult serial Dexter, where he played the charming killer and rapist (and part-time motivational trainer) Jordan Chase. Johnny's character is as smart as the pious but bloodthirsty forensic scientist Morgan (Michael C. Hall), so the spectators will have an exciting hunter-after-prey race.

It is noteworthy that in 2011 Johnny performed on the stage of the Royal National Theater in the play "Frankenstein". This performance is unusual in that Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch play Victor and his monster, and the actors change roles in different productions. Benedict managed to make his characters real villains, while Johnny's heroes evoked despair and pity. Both actors won the prestigious Lawrence Olivier Award for Best Actor for their flawless portrayal of characters from Mary Shelley's novel, as well as the Evening Standard Theater Award.

A year after the premiere of Frankenstein, Lee Miller was fortunate enough to star in Dark Shadows, the most macabre director of our time, Tim Burton. Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Grace Moretz and other actors also played in the film, which tells the story of an extravagant vampire.

In 2012, Johnny Lee Miller was reincarnated as the famous detective Sherlock Holmes in the series "Elementary". It is noteworthy that, as conceived by the directors, Holmes became a drug addict in a string, and the actress Lucy Liu played Dr. Watson.

Thus, the creators wanted to show how a man and a woman, not burdened by a romantic relationship, are able to coexist with each other. Johnny admitted that on the set of "Elementary" he felt relaxed, because he did not have to imitate an American accent and hide numerous tattoos. By the way, when Lee Miller starred in other films, it took make-up artists about an hour to hide the actor's simple jewelry.

Despite the fact that the serial detective is far from the handwritten original, it received positive reviews from film critics. By the way, the actors themselves did not read a single work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before filming in the series.

Lee Miller is known to be an avid shopaholic. Even outside the scope of the director's cameras, the stately actor (Johnny's height is 180 cm) is used to dressing up and down, as evidenced by numerous photos on his Instagram page. Johnny knows the names of famous brands almost by heart, in Lee Miller's wardrobe you can find jeans from Levi's, White Label and Nudie Jeans, trousers from GAP and strict classic suits from Dolce & Gabbana.

In his free time, Johnny tries to play sports: he gets up at 5 in the morning and goes for a run, which is accompanied by music. Lee Miller admitted that he is a music lover, but most of all the actor loves listening to parts from musicals. His favorite shows are "The Book of Mormon" by the creators of "South Park" and "Les Miserables" based on the novel by Victor Hugo. It is also known that Lee Miller has a first degree in kickboxing master.

Among other things, the famous actor loves to cook. Johnny began to comprehend the basics of the culinary art during his wife's pregnancy, because he did not want to burden his beloved with household chores. However, this occupation completely absorbed Johnny, and the future father began to read the cookbooks of famous chefs: Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and Nigel Slater.

In particular, Lee Miller is interested in Italian cuisine. The young man confessed that he was far from being an innovator in cooking, because he was looking for recipes for the dishes prepared in the manuscripts of culinary authorities. Although Johnny has one of his own recipes for spaghetti bolognese sauce in the arsenal.

With regard to love relationships, the handsome Lee Miller was married twice. The first darling of the charming gentleman was the then little-known actress Angelina Jolie, whom Johnny met on the set of the film "Hackers". Young people began to meet in 1995, and two years later they legalized their relationship. Although the wedding of Jolie and Lee Miller was very modest, the bride and groom managed to "leave a mark" in history.

The fact is that instead of wedding rings, the beloved exchanged drops of blood, pricks of the ring fingers. The suits of the bride and groom were also unforgettable: for example, the eccentric Angelina appeared at the ceremony in leather trousers and a white T-shirt, on which she wrote the name of her beloved in her own blood.

Despite the bloody ritual, which, according to Jolie, was tied more strongly than the signature on a piece of paper, already in 1999, on the initiative of Lee Miller, the couple filed for divorce. It is worth saying that in these relationships Johnny "drank some cabbage soup", as his betrothed had a lot of quirks, for example, she never cooked and hated being touched.

Also, journalists sowed rumors that the likely reason for the breakup was Jolie's constant betrayal with Timothy Hutton or the actress's drug addiction. But in any case, according to the ex-lovers, they never quarreled and parted as good friends.

The second bride of Lee Miller was Michelle Hicks, who gave birth to the actor's first child Buster Timothy Miller (2008). Johnny began dating an American actress in 2006, and two years later the lovers were married.

In 2017, the actor continues to star in the TV series "Elementary", and he also played in the film "T2: Trainspotting" ("Trainspotting 2"), which is called a free interpretation of Irwin Welch's novel "Porn".

Mind Hunters (2004); London Dogs (2000); Trainspotting (1996); Hackers (1995); Mansfield Park (1999); Doctor Who (1963-1989); "East Endians" (since 1985); Second Thoughts (1991-1994); “Keeping Decency” (1990-1995); The Avenger (2002); Dexter (2006-2013); Frankenstein (2011); Dark Shadows (2012); T2: Trainspotting (2017); "Elementary" (since 2012).
