Impish and intelligent, this openly gay and strikingly youthful actor spent a decade on stage before landing a plum role as
Bones' resident boy genius. During the '90s, Millegan appeared in myriad stage productions, mostly in musicals, including a part in the Broadway revival of
Jesus Christ Superstar and the title male role in a tuneful adaptation of the cult film
Harold and Maude. In 2005, with only a handful of guest spots and one indie film on his résumé, the plucky player went to Los Angeles for pilot season, and within a few weeks he had snagged his breakthrough role. Off camera, he is an avid basketball fan who has penned articles about his favorite sport and played in the NBA's Entertainment League.
