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.
