The structural engineer who gets himself incarcerated to break his brother out of death row. Miller delivers a stoic, quietly magnetic performance. His Michael is a chess master in a prison jumpsuit—calculating, emotionally repressed, but driven by an unshakable moral core. Miller’s ability to convey complex blueprints and deep trauma with little more than a glance made him an instant icon.
