Biography

Mark Thomas Miller is an American actor. Born on 3 May, 1960, in Louisville, Kentucky, and Miller grew up in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. His father was a grain merchant (now retired) and his mother is celebrated oil painter Mary Miller.

He attended high school in Albany, NY. During his late teens and 20s, he worked as a doorman at various night clubs in NYC including CBGB's, The Mudd Club, and the original Studio 54. After one year at Wagner College on Staten Island, NY he dropped out to pursue his career in New York City which included studying at the Actors Studio with the late Lee Strasborg and appearing in numerous stageplays and commercials.

He eventually moved to Los Angeles, CA and worked as a bodyguard for Van Halen and operated an afterhour club in Hollywood owned by David Lee Roth, before gaining a part in the short-lived NBC series Misfits of Science.

He often found ways to rekindle his career, which included performing at The Groundling Improv Group for three years, and co-writing sketches that appeared on Saturday Night Live and MadTV, until losing his patience for the business of acting.Fact|date=August 2008
