David Keith Miller

David Keith Miller was born and bar mitzvahed in Cleveland, Ohio, and when at age 15 his parents moved to Sunnyvale, California, he figured he should follow them. He received a B.A. with Honors in Philosophy from Stanford University while playing leads in stage productions there and in Bay Area regional theaters. Upon graduation, rather than do the smart thing and go to law school, he got an MFA in Acting at Yale University, where he lost a lot of money in poker to fellow alums Tony Shalhoub, Mark Linn-Baker and Fred Melamed. He moved to the Big Apple and under the stage name David Asher sang and danced on and off Broadway in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Merlin and Canterbury Tales until a vocal injury ended his singing career and began his path as a writer. He continued acting for some time, however, touring Japan and regional theaters with Tadashi Suzuki's Shakespeare adaptation The Tale of Lear and playing Trigorin in the infamous unreleased Roger Corman version of The Fantastic Four. He now focuses on writing and producing though he may one day cast himself in one of his own projects, to the film's detriment.
