Miles Teller
WHEN:
12.07 (Saturday)With a steadily successful career that continues to expand with each role he adds to his repertoire, Miles Teller has established himself as a leading man in Hollywood.
Teller began reaching critical success after starring in the James Ponsoldt film, The Spectacular Now, for which he won the Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, with co-star Shailene Woodley. The same year, in 2013, he starred in 21 & Over, written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore.
In 2014, Teller starred opposite JK Simmons in the Sony Pictures Classics critically-acclaimed and Oscar-nominated drama, Whiplash. The hit film received the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance and the Deauville Film Festival, and landed Teller a Best Actor nomination at the 2014 Gotham Awards.
Most recently, Teller starred as Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, son of the beloved “Goose,” in Paramount’s Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise, the sequel to the original Top Gun that reunited him with Only the Brave director Joseph Kosinski. The film is now the fifth-highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office, a distinction previously held by Titanic. Top Gun Maverick hit $100 million in the box office the first weekend and since has totaled over $1.4 billion gross revenue worldwide.
Next up, he will star in and executive produce Skydance’s The Gorge for Black Phone director Scott Derrickson, alongside co-star Anya Taylor-Joy. The Apple Original Films project is described as a high-action, genre-bending love story. He also recently wrapped production on Lionsgates Michael Jackson biopic MICHAEL and A24’s ETERNITY with Elizabeth Olsen and Callum Turner.
Teller was born in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and at the age of 11 moved to Citrus County, FL. Currently, he resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Keleigh, and French bulldog, Bugsy.
