A distinguished author, illustrator, animator, writer and historian, Mr. Miller has made significant contributions to the animation industry. He began his career in 1985 as a writer and has developed it into a multifaceted journey across various esteemed studios ever since. He has worked on storyboards and illustrations for iconic animated series such "The Simpsons," for which he won two Emmy Awards, "Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase" and "101 Dalmatians: The Series."

In addition to his animation work, Mr. Miller has been a prolific writer throughout his career. He recently completed a five-volume series titled "Batman: The Animated Interviews," which stands as one of his most notable achievements. He is also proud of his series "The Animated Voice," a compilation of interviews with voiceover actors that highlights their experiences in the industry, and "The Star Wars Historical Sourcebook" series, which catalogs media coverage and events covering the original Star Wars trilogy from 1971 to 1990. His writing credits extend to the online Animation Scoop, and to Comics Buyer's Guide, Starlog and Comics Scene magazines, where he contributed articles that further showcased his expertise in the field.

At Cartoon Network Mr. Miller served as a storyboard supervisor on "Courage the Cowardly Dog," "Harvey Birdman: Attorney-at-Law" and "Megas XLR." Prior to this, he was a storyboard supervisor at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) Animation for "The Lionhearts," an animated series inspired by Leo the Lion from MGM films. Additionally, his role at Hanna-Barbera involved storyboard work on "Dumb and Dumber: The Animated Series." During his time at Warner Bros., he contributed to the famed 1996 film "Space Jam" as an effects animator and "Quest for Camelot" as an effects assistant.

Earlier in his storied career, Mr. Miller was a special effects animator at Rich Entertainment for "The Swan Princess" in 1994.
