Wentworth Earl Miller III (born June 2, 1972) is a British-American actor, model, and screenwriter. He rose to prominence following his role as Michael Scofield in the Fox series Prison Break, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for best actor in a leading role. He made his screenwriting debut with the 2013 thriller film Stoker. He is playing a recurring villain in The Flash as Leonard Snart/Captain Cold, and is playing the role as a television series regular in the spin-off Legends of Tomorrow. Miller will reprise his role as Michael Scofield for the limited series format as Prison Break: Resurrection in 2017.

Miller was born in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, the son of American parents, Roxann (née Palm), a special education teacher, and Wentworth E. Miller II, a lawyer and teacher. His father, a Rhodes Scholar, was studying at Oxford at the time of Miller's birth. Miller said in 2003 that his father is black and his mother is white. His father is of African-American, Jamaican, German, and English ancestry; his mother is of Russian, French, Dutch, Syrian, and Lebanese ancestry.

Miller's family moved to Park Slope, Brooklyn when he was a year old. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in English literature. While at Princeton, he performed with the a cappella group the Princeton Tigertones, and was a member of the Quadrangle Club and the Colonial Club.
