Ken Miller

An Ohioan by birth, son of a minister, Ken Miller broke quietly into showbiz behind the backs of his parents, then relocated to California after the death of his father. The familiar array of odd jobs preceded his motion picture debut (1952's Fearless Fagan (1952)) and a stint with Uncle Sam in Berlin (where he took time off to play a recurring role in the low-cost Flash Gordon (1954) TV series). Returning to Tinseltown, he palled around with contemporaries like Connie Stevens, Troy Donahue, Annette Funicello, Burt Reynolds and others. While he never neared their level of success, he nevertheless kept busy cutting his own records and acting on the large and small screen. In later years Miller resided in Florida until his death.
