Wentworth Miller was quickly making a name for himself during his Prison Break days. The actor starred in one of the freshest shows on the Fox network during that time period. In addition to that, Miller’s unique looks got him tagged as a sex symbol by his loyal fanbase which only helped his pedigree. But although Prison Break brought him the recognition he was looking for, Mariah Carey gave Miller his first real career boost.
Like most actors, Wentworth Miller got into the art as a child. He acted until college, where he tucked his passion away to find a more realistic profession.At Princeton all my friends were heading to Wall Street or med school or law school; acting didn’t seem like something to take seriously post-graduation,” Miller said in Interview magazine.But Miller discovered, other than acting, he was passionate about very little.I still loved film and TV, though, so I decided to make a career behind the camera,” Miller revealed.
Miller would find himself gravitating back over to acting, where his passion began to pay off. Projects like The Human Stain and Prison Break helped Miller become a star. But Miller asserts that perhaps no one had more influence on his career than Mariah Carey.Wentworth Miller was in the Mariah Carey video for the songs It’s Like That and We Belong Together. The Flash star played an old fling of Carey’s who watched the singer about to get married to an older man. However, the video ends with Carey abandoning her fiance and running back to Miller’s character. The actor later revealed how much being in those video helped his career.
“Mariah’s an international icon,” Miller said according to Contact Music. “The two days I spent working on her video did more for my career, gave me more exposure, than anything I’d done before Prison Break. I’m grateful for the opportunity.”
