Biography
Jonny Lee Miller is a British actor born 15 November 1972. He broke through with back-to-back '90s cult roles: Dade Murphy in Hackers (1995) and Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson in Trainspotting (1996). Critical recognition followed across indie cinema—Afterglow (1997), Mansfield Park (1999), Mindhunters (2004), and The Flying Scotsman (2006), which earned him a London Film Critics' Circle nomination for Actor of the Year. He pivoted to prestige television, starring as the title character in the ABC comedy-drama Eli Stone and earning a Satellite Award nomination for Best Actor. A major career chapter opened in 2012 when he began a seven-year run as a contemporary version of Sherlock Holmes in the CBS crime drama Elementary, earning a second Satellite Award nomination. Stage work proved equally important: he won an Olivier Award for Best Actor in Frankenstein. Recent credits include roles in Dark Shadows (2012), Byzantium (2013), and a 2022 appearance as British prime minister John Major in the fifth season of Netflix's The Crown. As a Scorpio born in November, Miller's career reflects the sign's intensity and emotional depth, channeling that into roles spanning comedy, crime drama, and historical prestige projects. Actors typically balance film, television, and stage work across multiple genres—Miller has done exactly that, maintaining relevance across three decades.
