Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, and a host of other supporting actors.
Born in London, England, Ben Miles moved to Massachusetts, United States, where he completed his education.
As a youth, Ben Miles was interested in sports, and along with acting, it was set to be one of the last choices he would be faced with for a career job.
Although he began playing in Frisbee competitions internationally, he eventually decided to pursue a career in acting.
Returning to England, Ben Miles began acting in theatre, participating in a series of plays related to art as one of the highlights.
Moving along, he eventually found a role in a large ad campaign to promote Miller Lite, a campaign that made his face easily recognizable to many British households.
On film, too, Ben Miles was starting to show his talents as an actor.
His screen debut was the war film Memphis Belle (1990),starring Matthew Modine, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, and Eric Stoltz.
That year, he also appeared as a policeman in an episode of London's Burning (1988),and a third supporting role in The Russia House (1990),starring Sean Connery, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Roy Scheider.
The next year or so was confined to television before Ben Miles got acquainted with Jim Goddard, who was involved in creating a new show called "Sharpe".
Auditioning, and landing, a part in this new series, Ben Miles' role of a lifetime was found, and he co-starred in 12 of 16 episodes.
The character of "Harris" became well-known to fans as the educated rifleman who had no first name.
He was also a favourite of the drink, but still one of Sharpe's true Chosen Men.
Since his departure from the "Sharpe" series, Ben Miles has continued to expand his acting history, notably the comedic About a Boy (2002),the Jim Sheridan film In America (2002),the television series The Bill (1984),and the television drama Forgiven (2007).
