BIOGRAPHY
Son of theater actor Alan Miller and grandson of Bernard Lee who played M in numerous James Bond films.

A professional actor since the age of eleven, Jonny Lee Miller made his real film debut with Hackers (1995), a thriller in which he played a cyberpunk opposite Angelina Jolie . Their meeting on the film set led to a marriage which ended in 1999. Consecration arrived in 1996 with the role of the junkie Sick Boy in the cult Trainspotting by Danny Boyle .

Followed by the dramatic comedy Love, and After (1998), the adventure film Guns 1748 (1999), where he reunited with Robert Carlyle , one of his playing partners in Trainspotting , and the crazy thriller Gangsters, sex & karaoke (2000), the opportunity for Jonny Lee Miller to perform opposite Jude Law , his partner in the production company Natural Nylon .

Attempting a Hollywood career, he found himself hunting vampires in Dracula 2001 (2001), replaced Gerard Butler at short notice in the casting of the action thriller Profession profiler (2002) by Renny Harlin , played supporting roles for Woody Allen in Melinda and Melinda , opposite Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux … Unfortunately, all these choices ended in critical and commercial failures which prevented the actor from gaining visibility. It was television that seemed to offer Jonny Lee Miller the best opportunities; he landed the title role in the legal series Eli Stone for two seasons, before turning for the BBC in Emma . We even find him in the skin of the chilling Jordan Chase in season 5 of Dexter , opposite Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter .

After reuniting with Danny Boyle for an exceptional theatrical performance broadcast in the cinema with Benedict Cumberbatch , Jonny Lee Miller turns for Tim Burton in the zany Dark Shadows . It is once again television that allows him to return to success: for five seasons he has played a modern version of Sherlock Holmes in Elementary alongside Lucy Liu, far from the role of his theater companion for the BBC. His return to cinema is marked by the highly anticipated sequel to the adventures of the crazy quartet of Trainspotting , still directed by Danny Boyle, twenty years after the first film.
