Born: Jonathan Lee Miller on 15 November 1972, in Kingston upon Thames.

Jonny Lee Miller is an English actor. His grandfather was Bernard Lee, famous for playing the character M in the earlier James Bond films.

After a stint in EastEnders as Jonathan Hewitt, Jonny Lee Miller got his big break in films with Hackers (1995), co-starring Angelina Jolie, whom he married the following year. They divorced four years later.

For a while, it was a very intense relationship, very passionate, and you can never regret being involved in something like that. It was sad that it ended, but I wouldn't change a thing about it. Well, except maybe my haircut. (About his relationship with Jolie).

Shortly afterwards, Miller took a leading role in Trainspotting (1996), which brought him real notoriety. The accent he used in the film was so convincing that it led many people to believe he was a Scottish actor. In 1997, he played Billy Prior in the film adaptation of Pat Barker's World War I novel, Regeneration. More recently, he has appeared in films such as Complicity (2000) and Disturbia (2007).

On television he has appeared in the BBC's modernisation of The Canterbury Tales and as Lord Byron in a television drama about the life of the poet.
