Ezra Miller is a rising star in the US cinematic landscape. The young actor gained wide popularity after the release of the films "It's good to be quiet", "Something is wrong with Kevin", "Madame Bovary". Miller was born in a small town that is considered a suburb of New York. Ezra has mastered the art of reincarnation, which allows him to play roles in films of different genres.
From the biography of Ezra Matthew Miller
The future actor and musician was born on September 30, 1992 in the American city of Hoboken, located in the state of New Jersey. He became the third child in the family. Ezra's father was one of the leaders of the book house; mother, a German by birth, worked as a dancer. The head of the family spent almost all the time at work, where he worked tirelessly to ensure the future of his children. At this time, the mother was in charge of the household and raising children.
Ezra enjoyed hiking with his sisters and mom. During these trips around the neighborhood, mother taught the children to notice the details of the world around them, tried to train their creative imagination. Perhaps, thanks to such exercises, the boy later became a very extraordinary person. The skills received from the mother sharpened aesthetic feelings in the boy. He began to better understand the difference between good and evil. Those who knew Miller from childhood considered him a very impressionable child.
Ezra's mother was also actively involved in the education of her children. They all went to a prestigious school. In addition, the boy attended music lessons - this was supposed to help cope with speech defects. Vocal lessons were also aimed at leaving speech defects in the past. And Ezra succeeded. As a result, Miller almost completely got rid of speech deficiencies, but decided not to give up music lessons.
In such classes, Miller showed remarkable artistic abilities. Mom decided that the six-year-old boy should be sent to a theater group. This is how Ezra's essentially musical and acting career began.
Ezra Miller's early career
Already at a young age, Miller played in plays at the Metropolitan Opera. One of his best works was his role in the production of Glass's opera The White Crow. But he got to his first filming in a movie only at the age of fourteen.
In 2008 he was offered to play in the movie "The Graduates". The role was noticeable: Ezra had to become a student of an elite educational institution during the filming, who witnessed the death of two of his classmates. The hero of the picture filmed everything on a video camera and decided to use this recording to change the order in college.
After the success in the first film, Miller received an offer to play several more modest roles. These were the series:
- "Californication";
- "Donut from Space";
- "Law and order. Special building ".
All the heroes that Ezra had a chance to play in those years had one thing in common - they were very willful. Working in TV shows became a very good school for Miller: he had to work on the same set with famous actors. Among them:
- Daniel Pino;
- David Duchovny;
- Christopher Meloni.
On the way to the heights of creativity
In 2010, the young actor starred in the bright comedy Remember Gonzo. On the set, he became close friends with Zoe Isabella Kravitz. The relationship developed rapidly, but the romance was short-lived.
After this work, the actor starred in the drama "Every single day". Here he played the son of the protagonist. A year later, Miller worked with Demi Moore on the set of the film "Relatives": he was to become for a while a frivolous young man who had only entertainment in his head.
The year 2011 has come. Miller receives an invitation to shoot in the psychological thriller Something's Wrong with Kevin. The role in this picture can be considered a breakthrough in the work of the actor. After first reading the script, Ezra decided that he was quite suitable for the lead role. The central character of the picture is a teenager who committed an irreparable deed. In the course of the development of the plot, Kevin's relationship with his mother came to the fore. Ezra in the lead role perfectly managed to convey the whole gamut of contradictory feelings of a teenager. The fact that the motion picture was nominated for the Palme d'Or is undoubtedly the merit of the young actor.
Another notable work of Miller in the cinema was the image of a teenager Patrick in the drama "It's Good to Be Quiet." The audience had the opportunity to reflect on the hero's non-standard sexual orientation, drugs, violence and cruelty among adolescents. The role in this film earned Miller the award for Best Musical Moment in a Film.
As time went. The promising actor inevitably had to get out of the old role of a teenager. His next role was the image of a notary's assistant in the film based on the book "Madame Bovary" by Flaubert, filmed in 2014. A year later, Ezra starred in the comedy "Girl without complexes", and then - in the action-packed film "The Prison Experiment at Stanford."
In 2016, Miller starred in the first part of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is part of a cycle associated with the Harry Potter films. The action in the film takes place long before the beginning of the fairy tale about a young wizard. Miller played here a young man named Credence. The mother of this hero decided to exterminate all the sorcerers in the world.
Critics believe that over time, a talented actor can continue to claim central roles in films of diverse genre. There is no doubt that new work in cinema will bring Ezra the success and love of fans, which Miller has no shortage of.
Ezra Miller's personal life
There are many unverified rumors about this side of the actor's life. After a fleeting romance with Kravitz, Miller said he did not share traditional sexual orientation. Fans immediately reproached their idol for deliberately misleading them, that his confession was just a tribute to the fashion for homosexuality.
However, to this Ezra replied that he tried to build relationships with boys during his school years. And at the same time he endured all the humiliations that are associated with the unenviable role of an outcast.
In 2011, Ezra was arrested for possession of marijuana. He had to pay a fine, but he does not consider himself a violator. Miller said that for him marijuana is a completely harmless substance that only helps to sharpen the senses. Perhaps these words are just bravado and an attempt to make amends before the law. But it is possible that in this way Miller is trying to change the level of his perception of reality - after all, in the acting craft, an extraordinary outlook on life is often required.
