Researching Joe Miller

Trinculo in The Tempest, the First Grave-digger in Hamlet and Marplot in Susanna Centlivre's The Busybody, were among his many favourite parts. He is said to have been a friend of Hogarth.

In 1715 he appeared on bills promoting a performance on the last day of April, where he played Young Clincher in Farquhar's comedy, The Constant Couple.

On 25 April 1717 he played Sir Joseph Whittol in William Congreve's "Old Batchelor". Tickets for this performance were adorned by a design by William Hogarth showing the scene where Whittol's friend Captain Bluffe is kicked by Sharper whilst his friend Bellmour tries to pull him away. This is described as a "very valuable engraving" in 1868. This ticket design was used for Joe Millers benefit performance on 13 April 1738.

In "vacation periods" between working at Drury Lane, he performed for William Pinkethman's company.

He frequented the "Black Jack" tavern on Portsmouth Street in London, which was a favourite of the Drury Lane players and those from Lincoln's Inn Fields. Allegedly he was very serious in the bar and this led to an in-joke whereby all his companions ascribed all new jokes to him.

His final performance was on 13 April 1738.

On his death on 15 August he was buried at St Clement Danes on Portugal Street, London. This churchyard was later built over by King's College Hospital. The grave is therefore lost.

Miller began his career in as a player-manager for the Washington Nationals of the National Association. They were 0–11 and didn't finish the season. His next and final season was in, playing for the Keokuk Westerns and the Chicago White Stockings, also of the National Association. He batted .135 in 28 games.

He died at the age of 41 in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.

He began his playing career as a teenage striker at Aberdeen, featuring in their 1985–86 Scottish Cup success, before moving to Celtic in 1987 for £650,000, a Scottish record transfer fee. Mainly used as a winger from then on, Miller won the 'double' of Scottish League and Scottish Cup with Celtic in 1988, and scored the winning goal for the club in the 1989 Scottish Cup Final. In 1993 he returned to Aberdeen, collecting another winner's medal in the 1995 Scottish League Cup Final to complete a domestic set.

In his later career he had shorter spells with Dundee United, in Australia (spending a season with Parramatta Power in the NSL), Raith Rovers, Clydebank and Clyde, moving into coaching with the latter.

Miller's big break came when he joined TsN, through which he cast the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) World Tour in 2005, arguably the "most definitive moment" of his early esports career. From there he went on to work as a broadcaster for numerous professional video game leagues including the World Series of Video Games (WSVG), Championship Gaming Series, DreamHack and various Electronic Sports League (ESL) events. In amongst these achievements he worked as General Manager for Fnatic back when they were based in Southampton as well as joining the QuadV team, headed by fellow casters Leigh "Deman" Smith and Paul “ReDeYe” Chaloner.

Although Miller is known for casting competitive Counter-Strike and Quake Live tournaments, recently he has made a name for himself in League of Legends (LoL). Miller moved to Cologne, Germany and began working for the ESL in 2008 with Matt Rider and James Harding. He secured a regular spot casting weekly League of Legends Championship Series, which he did alongside the likes of Leigh "Deman" Smith, Trevor “Qu1ksh0t” Henry, Jason Kaplan, Martin "Deficio" Lynge and Eefje “sjokz” Depoortere. Miller currently resides in Cologne, Germany and speaks fluent German.

Notable recent achievements include casting the Riot League of Legends tournaments at Gamescom 2013 and securing a casting position at LoL World Championships hosted in Los Angeles. It was recently announced soon after the European LoL Regionals at Gamescom 2014 that he would also be casting at the 2014 League of Legends World Championship in Taipei, Singapore and the South Korean cities of Busan and Seoul.

On 3 December 2014 Miller announced he would be leaving the EU LCS production.

Miller rose to national prominence as the Republican Party nominee and the Tea Party favorite in the 2010 U.S. Senate election in Alaska. He faced Democrat Scott McAdams and incumbent Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski who, after losing the primary to Miller, mounted a large and well-funded campaign as a write-in candidate in the general election and went on to win the Senate seat.

Before running for the Senate, Miller worked as an attorney in private general practice, a local government attorney, and a U.S. magistrate judge assisting the Alaska federal district court with its caseload. A 1995 graduate of Yale Law School, he was a combat veteran of the 1991 Gulf War and a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He is originally from Kansas and the father of eight children; he and his wife and family moved to Alaska in the mid-1990s.

Miller sought the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Begich in 2014, but was defeated by Dan Sullivan in the Republican primary.

Cean Stevens, the Libertarian party primary winner, stepped aside to allow Miller to receive the Libertarian nomination, so that Miller could run in the crowded 2016 Senate election. He once again placed second to Lisa Murkowski in the general election, receiving just under 30% of the vote. He is also a member of the Constitution Party.
