He was born in Kingston-upon-Thames , Surrey , England . His grandfather was Bernard Lee , famous for playing the character ''M'' in the earlier James Bond films.

After a stint in '' EastEnders '' as Jonathan Hewitt, Jonny Lee Miller got his big break in films with '' Hackers '' ( 1995 ), co-starring Angelina Jolie , whom he married the following year. They divorced four years later.

Shortly afterwards, Miller took a leading role in '' Trainspotting '' ( 1996 ), which brought him real notoriety.
