What helped Miller fully transform into playing Jadin was a physical change.
Since Jadin always colored his hair, Miller had to dye his as well.
“So that honestly was the big part of that transformation for me.”

“I learned so much from it, it was such an incredible journey,” he says.
“It was just an incredible team of people.
That was just an honor.
“The highlight of my year career-wise isJoe Bellfinally being released,” Miller says.
