Ezra Miller’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Ezra Miller Net Worth: Ezra Miller is an American actor who has a net worth of $3 million dollars. Born September 30, 1992 in Wyckoff, New Jersey, he gained early attention for his roles as Vincent “Vinnie” Rizzo, Jr. in City Island (2009), as Elliot Hellman in Another Happy Day (2011) and in the title role of We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011). He also starred in the teen drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), a role which was just the departure from his former roles that he needed to establish himself as an actor who could potentially fit a variety of roles. Miller began performing on stage at the age of six, landing a role in the U.S. premiere of Philip Glass’ contemporary opera White Raven and was a member of New York’s Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus. Training for opera at such a young age helped Miller overcome a speech impediment. At age 16, Miller dropped out of The Hudson School in New Jersey to pursue acting. In 2008, he appeared in Afterschool, his film debut in which he starred as an Internet-addicted student who records (on video) two girls overdosing on drugs. That same year, Miller was cast on the hit series Californication on Showtime. He built up his résumé with guest appearances on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and with an appearance in the independent comedy City Island (2009). He also had roles in the 2010 films Beware the Gonzo and Every Day, as a gay teenager whose parents struggle with an unexpected romantic crisis. On June 28, 2011, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Miller was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for a broken brake light, and police discovered that Miller had 20 grams of marijuana in his possession. He was initially charged with drug possession, but the charge was later dropped by a judge. Miller instead faced a penalty of $600 for two citations of disorderly conduct.
