Jonny Lee Miller, 49, is an actor who has appeared in many films and TV shows over the years. The star was born and raised in London and was inspired by his parents, Anna and Alan, to go into acting.

Both his mother and father acted in the theatre, and his grandfather was Bernard Lee, an actor who was perhaps best-known for appearing as M in the first 11 James Bond films, appearing alongside Sean Connery, Roger Moore and George Lazenby.
