Early Life: Wentworth Miller was born Wentworth Earl Miller III on June 2nd, 1972, in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England. His American parents, Roxann (a special education teacher) and Wentworth (a teacher and lawyer), were living in England when Miller was born because his father was a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. Wentworth’s father is of African-American, German, Jamaican, and English heritage, and his mother’s ancestry is Rusyn, French, Lebanese, Swedish, Syrian, and Dutch. The family relocated to Park Slope, Brooklyn, when Miller was very young, and he attended Brooklyn’s Midwood High School and Leetsdale, Pennsylvania’s Quaker Valley High School, graduating in 1990. During high school, Wentworth made straight A’s and joined the school newspaper staff and the AV club. After graduation, he enrolled at Princeton University, where he served as the school newspaper’s cartoonist and sang with The Princeton Tigertones a cappella group. Miller earned an A.B. in English in 1995, then moved to Los Angeles and began working for a company that made television films. Wentworth has two younger sisters, Leigh and Gillian.
Career: Miller made his television debut on a 1998 episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and appeared in his first film, a direct-to-video version of “Romeo and Juliet,” two years later. From 1999 to 2000, he guest-starred on three episodes of the “Party of Five” spin-off “Time of Your Life,” and in 2000, he appeared on The WB series “Popular” and the NBC medical drama “ER.” Wentworth then appeared in the 2001 short film “Room 302” and the miniseries “Dinotopia,” which aired as part of “The Wonderful World of Disney” on ABC. In 2003, he co-starred with Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman in “The Human Stain” and played Dr. Adam Lockwood in “Underworld,” which grossed $95.7 million at the box office. In 2005, Miller guest-starred on the CBS series “Joan of Arcadia” and “Ghost Whisperer,” appeared in the short film “The Confession,” lent his voice to the big-budget film “Stealth,” and landed a lead role on “Prison Break.” Since his character’s torso was covered in tattoos, Wentworth had to spend more than four hours having fake tattoos applied every time he filmed the show. “Prison Break” aired 81 episodes between 2005 and 2009 (as well as a 2009 television movie, “Prison Break: The Final Break”), then aired a nine-episode fifth season in 2017.
