T.J. Miller, born Todd Joseph Miller on June 4, 1981, in Denver, Colorado, is a multifaceted figure in the entertainment world, excelling as a stand-up comedian, actor, screenwriter, and producer. His background in psychology from George Washington University, with a focus on persuasion theory and social influence, seems to inform his often cerebral and absurdist approach to comedy. Miller gained widespread recognition for his role as Erlich Bachman in the hit HBO series 'Silicon Valley' (2014-2017), for which he received the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in 2015.
Concurrently, he cemented his big-screen presence as Weasel, Deadpool's sidekick in the eponymous Marvel films (2016 and 2018). His filmography includes roles in movies like 'Cloverfield,' 'Ready Player One,' and an extensive list of voice work in animation, including Fred in 'Big Hero 6' and Tuffnut in the 'How to Train Your Dragon' franchise. His comedy specials, such as 'No Real Reason' and 'Meticulously Ridiculous,' showcase his energetic and often improvisational style.
Embracing direct distribution, T.J. Miller premiered his ambitious new special, 'The Philosophy Circus,' on his YouTube channel. The show features his signature stand-up alongside juggling and ventriloquism.
In a comprehensive interview on 'The Comedy Couch' with Yakov Smirnoff, Miller discussed his journey from childhood to Hollywood, his improvisational process, and memorable moments from 'Deadpool'.
T.J. Miller's highly active stand-up schedule for 'The Gentle Giant Tour' continues, with confirmed dates at venues like Punch Line Sacramento, Spokane Comedy Club, and BC House of Comedy.
Miller's bold release of a completely improvised half-hour special filmed in Spokane has garnered acclaim, highlighting his unique ability to craft a show entirely in the moment with his audience.
Following a visit to neurovascular firm Balt, Miller was featured in NeuroNews discussing his personal journey as a brain AVM survivor and the importance of understanding the condition.
The long-running podcast 'Cashing In', where Miller has been the only guest for over a decade on Cash Levy's interview show, continues to produce new episodes for its dedicated fanbase.
The previously announced animated Web3 comedy 'FORTUN3,' set to star Miller and inspired by the FTX collapse, is still listed as being in development with no firm release date announced.
