Born in 1972, the grandson of Bernard Lee (M in the early Bond movies) Miller has admittedly had some misses in his career (Love Honour And Obey, anyone?) but he's also had a leading role in three important British movies: Trainspotting (the role that brought him to international fame); Mansfield Park (which proved that, unlike McGregor, he could do period) and then Gillies Mackinnon's Regeneration. In all three Miller is memorable, at ease as much with the heightened acting style beloved of Danny Boyle as with the more introspective technique appropriate to Mackinnon's hymn to the damned. Miller also deserves credit for possessing pin up looks but never really trading on them, choosing morally dubious villains (Trainspotting, Plunkett & McClean) or compromised heroes (Complicity) over romantic leads. If any seal of approval were needed for his talents, Miller probably clinched it this year his latest film is for Woody Allen.
