MiniBio

Many people first started following Ted Sutherland when he stepped into the role of Simon on the NBC series Rise (2018–), a show that dives into the lives of high school students navigating a theater program. By the time Ted Sutherland joined the cast, he was already something of a seasoned young performer—having built up years of professional experience long before the spotlight hit him on Rise.

Ted Sutherland had actually begun his journey in the entertainment world much earlier, making a name for himself on stage. Back in 2010, he performed in the musical Fanny as part of the prestigious City Center Encores! Great American Musicals in Concert series—an early sign of his growing talent. Then, in 2011, Ted Sutherland made his screen debut with a role in the Fox TV movie Family Album, marking his official entry into on-screen acting.

From there, Ted Sutherland continued to build momentum. He had a small but notable appearance in John Turturro’s comedy Fading Gigolo in 2013, which opened doors to even bigger opportunities. That same year, he landed the lead role in the independent film Dovid Meyer—a major milestone that gave Ted Sutherland serious hands-on experience and helped shape his understanding of storytelling through film.

Never one to rest on his accomplishments, Ted Sutherland treated each new role as a learning opportunity, both artistically and professionally. In 2015, he took on a minor but memorable part in the ABC Family TV movie Fan Girl, starring alongside Kiernan Shipka. His growing resume also included guest appearances on well-established shows: a turn on an episode of Law & Order: SVU (NBC, 1999–), followed by a spot on the political drama Madam Secretary (CBS, 2014–).

All these experiences—the stage performances, the indie films, the television guest spots—helped prepare Ted Sutherland for the emotional depth and complexity required in Rise. Drawing from his early days in theater and years of steady work, Ted Sutherland brought authenticity and maturity to his portrayal of Simon, solidifying his place as a rising talent to watch.

Trivia

So, when we take a look at Ted Sutherland’s work, it’s interesting to note that his highest rated movie actually turns out to be Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021). Yeah, you heard that right—Ted Sutherland’s most acclaimed project so far is this 2021 release. Now, here’s the twist: oddly enough, the same film also holds the spot for his lowest rated movie. I know, kind of surprising, right? But that’s how it goes sometimes. Ted Sutherland seems to have a bit of a split reception with Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021), making it both a high and low point in his career. Ted Sutherland definitely made an impact with this one, whether people loved it or weren’t quite as impressed. It just shows how subjective film ratings can be. Ted Sutherland might want to explore different projects next time to balance things out.

You might be surprised to learn that the quirky, nerdy guy from *She's Out of My League* actually studied at Oxford’s British Academy of Dramatic Arts. But then again, T.J. Miller was never your typical comedian. Sure, T.J. had a natural flair for comedy, but his career took some unexpected turns—like sharing the screen with powerhouse dramatic actors such as Denzel Washington and Gerard Butler. Born Todd Joseph Miller in Denver back in 1981, T.J. always felt drawn to acting, though it wasn’t until high school that he realized comedy was where his heart truly belonged. Once he made that decision, T.J. threw himself into it completely. After finishing up at Oxford, T.J. set his sights on Chicago—the real hub for improv and comedic talent. That’s where he really sharpened his skills, performing with the group Chuckle Sandwich and appearing at events like the Toronto International Improv Festival. He also worked with the legendary Second City troupe, which helped solidify his reputation as a rising comedic force. His big break came when he landed the role of Hud in the found-footage sci-fi thriller *Cloverfield* (2008). Even though his character mostly stayed behind the camera during the chaos, T.J.’s performance stood out—and it opened doors. Soon after, he snagged the lead in the short-lived ABC sitcom *Carpoolers* (2008–09), proving he could carry a show. Over the next few years, T.J. kept building momentum with supporting roles across TV and film. Then came 2010—a standout year. He played Stainer in *She's Out of My League*, brought laughs as Ranger Jones in the live-action *Yogi Bear* remake, and even stole scenes with a small but memorable turn as Brian, the unlucky concierge, in *Get Him to the Greek*. Fans also loved him as Tuffnut in *How to Train Your Dragon* (2010), a role he revisited in animated shorts like *Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon* and *Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury*, leading to more voice work down the line. By 2012, T.J. was voicing Robbie, the edgy teen punk, in Disney’s *Gravity Falls* (2012–16), and taking on one of the lead roles in Fox’s *The Goodwin Games*. But it was in 2014 when T.J. really hit his stride, stepping into the spotlight as Erlich Bachman in Mike Judge’s HBO satire *Silicon Valley*. The role perfectly matched T.J.’s offbeat charm, and he remained a fan favorite until his departure in June 2017 after Season 4. Meanwhile, his film presence grew stronger with roles in *Transformers: Age of Extinction* (2014), the animated hit *Big Hero 6* (2014), the raucous *Office Christmas Party* (2016), and the wildly popular *Deadpool* (2016). He also hosted the delightfully weird sketch series *The Gorburger Show* on Comedy Central in 2017, which actually started as a series of viral clips on Funny Or Die. That same year, Netflix released his stand-up special *T.J. Miller: Meticulously Ridiculous*, showcasing his sharp, unpredictable humor. T.J. continued to expand his reach with appearances in Steven Spielberg’s *Ready Player One* (2018) and *Deadpool 2* (2018). However, things took a serious turn when, on April 9, 2018, T.J. was arrested at LaGuardia Airport over federal charges tied to a false bomb threat he allegedly made on an Amtrak train back on March 18, 2018. It was a moment that overshadowed much of what T.J. had built—but up until then, there was no denying his unique mark on comedy and film.
