Formerly known as "the hot guy from that Mariah Carey video," Miller boasts an impressive intellectual pedigree. Born in England to a Rhodes-scholar father, this sexy, multiracial actor graduated from Princeton with a degree in English. After moving to Los Angeles, he made guest appearances on various TV series before landing what seemed to be his big break, a role in 2003's
The Human Stain playing Anthony Hopkins' younger self, but the film went bust. After stealing Carey away from Eric Roberts in the "We Belong Together" video, Miller found small-screen success on
Prison Break as a tattooed hunk determined to free his wrongfully convicted brother from death row.
