Jonny Lee Miller is an English actor famous for his portrayal of the Sean Connery-obsessed Sick Boy in film Trainspotting(1996). His memorable performances in the shortlived ABCseries Eli Stone and Dexter helped both to keep in in the public eye. In 2011 Miller shared Oliver Award with actor Benedict Cumberbatch for their performances in Boyle's stage production of Frankenstein and the following year he kept up the gothic vibe with his turn as the shady Roger Collins in soap opera Dark Shadows.

an inspired rendition of a timeless tale - it stayed true to its premise but took the thematic depth and characterization up several notches. i especially enjoyed the intricate set-design and johnny lee miller's physicality with the creature. both actors were fantastic and played so well off each other. of course, not seeing it live does take away some of the spectacle and the cinematic medium seemed odd at times for the theatricalities, but overall, a rather wonderful experience!
