An accomplished artist, Miller's professional training began with a scholarship to Choinards Art Institute. After a stint in Uncle Sam's Army, he joined the Walt Disney Studios where he helped to create the animation sequences for such pictures as "Sleeping Beauty" and "101 Dalmations" and later held key posts on the NBC-TV and M-G-M lots as a scenic artist. While at M-G-M he helped execute the famous 380 by 60 foot backdrop for "The Brothers Grimm."
