Career After a stint inEastEndersas Jonathan Hewitt, Miller got his big break in the filmHackers(1995), co-starring with Angelina Jolie, whom he married in 1996. In 1997, Miller was involved with the creation and operation of Natural Nylon along with friends Jude Law (whom he met in the National Youth Music Theatre), Sadie Frost, Ewan McGregor, Sean Pertwee, Damon Bryant, and Bradley Adams. Natural Nylon folded in 2003. Aside from EastEnders, he has appeared on television in the BBC's modernisation ofThe Canterbury Tales, as Artie inThe Pardoner's Taleand as Lord Byron in a BBC production about the life of the poet. He worked on the US television seriesSmithin 2006. His first appearance on US television was the 1996 miniseriesDead Man's Walk. Shortly afterHackers, Miller was cast inTrainspottingas Sick Boy, a role which gained him recognition. He was suggested for that role by Ewan McGregor. The accent he used in the film was so convincing that it led many people to erroneously believe he was from Scotland. It states on Miller's website, "As the only non-Scot in the cast Jonny has had to master the accent. "I had to do a lot of work," he confesses, "I read and re-read the book and I pretended to be Scottish all the time I was in Glasgow, hanging around with Scots, picking up bits and pieces on the street and in bars. Everyone's been very encouraging and Danny thinks that I've got it about right. Of course, the others are from all over Scotland and have different accents themselves, so I've tried to just pick up a general, composite [5] accent." In 1997, he played Billy Prior in the film adaptation of Pat Barker's World War I novel,Regeneration. In 2000, he played the role of Cameron Colley inComplicity, based on the book by Iain Banks. He costarred alongside Jude Law and Ray Winstone in the film "Love, Honour and Obey" as Johnny, a London street kid getting mixed up with a notorious Brit gangster. Also in 2000, he appeared as Simon Sheppard in Wes Craven'sDracula 2000. In 2005, he was considered for the role of James Bond, to replace Pierce Brosnan. The role went to Daniel Craig. The following year, Miller portrayed cyclist Graeme Obree inThe Flying Scotsman. In 2007, Miller was selected to play the lead role in the series for ABC, calledEli Stone; the series was canceled after two seasons. The first season had been interrupted by a lengthy writers' strike. He was considered as the third teammate to join Ben Fogle and James Cracknell in Team QinetiQ for the Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole Race (January 2009). He participated in training for the event in Norway which was televised [6] for a BBC2 documentary seriesOn Thin Icewas not able to attend the race due to filming commitments of. He Eli Stonebeing extended for a second season. In 2009, he played Mr. Knightley in a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's [7] Emma. He also appeared on Broadway with Sienna Miller in a production of "After Miss Julie", his performance receiving generally excellent reviews. In early 2010, Miller was apparently in talks to portray Rick Grimes in the TV [8] adaptation of the comicThe Walking Deadthe part went to Andrew Lincoln. Miller starred in the fifth season, but ofDexteras Jordan Chase, a highly popular motivational speaker who is suspected of leading a gang of serial rapists [9] and murderers. In March 2011, at the National Theatre, he played, on alternate nights, both Victor Frankenstein and his Creature, [10] opposite Benedict Cumberbatch, in a stage adaptation ofFrankenstein.Frankenstein, directed by Danny Boyle, was broadcast to cinemas worldwide as part of National Theatre Live on 17 March 2011 and additional dates [11] throughout March and April.
