Early life and career

Miller was born to a Jewish family, the son of Gary and Zoe Miller.[1] He has one sister, Geneva Wasserman, and one brother, writer and producer Judah Miller, who is married to Marissa Jaret Winokur.[2] Miller is a graduate of Monte Vista High School in Danville, California, and attended New York University where he was roommates with Andy Samberg.[1][3]

Miller started his career as a stand-up comedian in New York City.[1]

Personal life

On March 19, 2016, Miller married writer Crystal Meers.[4]

Allegation of rape

On November 17, 2017, actress Aurora Perrineau (daughter of actor Harold Perrineau) filed a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department alleging Miller, then age 35, had raped her in 2012 when she was age 17. Miller has denied the accusation.[5] On August 10, 2018, after an investigation in response to the police report of Perrineau, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office formally declined to file charges against Miller by reason of the statute of limitations for prosecution of statutory rape had passed, and further declined prosecution for rape on any other grounds due to "inconsistencies which cannot be overcome" and the delay in reporting the case.[6][7]
