Miller went on to break out on screen as Sickboy in Danny Boyle’s edgy, Oscar-nominated “Trainspotting.†Portraying a heroin addict obsessed with Sean Connery, Miller gave a memorable performance alongside good friend, Ewan McGregor. Bonding with his co-star, Miller and McGregor co-founded the British film production company, Natural Nylon, along with friends Jude Law; his wife, Sadie Frost; Sean Pertwee; Damon Bryant and Bradley Adams. Miller made his U.S. television debut that same year as Woodrow Call in Larry McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove†prequel, “Dead Man’s Walk†(ABC, 1996). He went on to deliver a thoughtful, intense performance as a working-class soldier struck mute by the horrors of WWI in “Regeneration†(1997), and appeared as a career-obsessed businessman opposite Julie Christie and Nick Nolte in Alan Rudolph’s “Afterglow†(1997). Next, Miller starred as an 18th century English highway robber opposite Robert Carlyle in “Plunkett & Macleane†(1999) and went on to give a notable performance as Edmund Bertram, cousin and soul mate to Frances O’Connor’s Fanny Price, in the Jane Austen adaptation, “Mansfield Park†(1999).

Shortly after Hackers, Miller was cast in Trainspotting (1996), which brought him notoriety. He was suggested for the role of Sick Boy by Ewan McGregor. The accent he used in the film was so convincing that it led many people to erroneously believe he was Scottish.
