William John "Billy" Miller II (born September 17, 1979) is an American actor and businessman. He is best known for his soap opera roles as Billy Abbott on CBS Daytime's The Young and the Restless and Jason Morgan on ABC Daytime's General Hospital.
Miller was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas. He is a middle child and only son, with two sisters, Michelle and Megan. As a child, Miller spent five years as a patient of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, an organization he now supports.
He attended Mirabeau B. Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas and the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, where he received a communications degree and was one of only twenty students in the film department's intensive Production Sequence.
After graduating from college, Miller moved out to Los Angeles where he began working in the mail room of Industry Entertainment. His first break into acting came after he signed on with the Wilhelmina modeling agency. He appeared in six commercials, including two for Electronic Arts' The Sims. He also did commercials for JCPenney, Pizza Hut and pokerparty.com.
At the age of 24, Miller screen-tested for the CBS Daytime soap opera As the World Turns, but due to bad management, he lost the audition, and subsequently the management and agency. He took a two-year hiatus from acting after that experience.
