Wentworth Miller

American and British actor

Wentworth Miller is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Wentworth Miller as American and British actor.

Wentworth Miller was born at Chipping Norton in 1972. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He trained at Princeton University and Midwood High School.

By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.

He worked as television actor, actor and screenwriter.

His name is attached above all to playing the role of Michael Scofield in Prison Break, for which he received a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Televis. A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

That the work was made from United Kingdom shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Wentworth Miller is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
