Andy Milder

For two decades, it seemed as if cherubic actor Andy Milder would forever be relegated to the sort of thankless television walk-on roles that, while serving well to pay the bills, don't necessarily provide any kind of creative challenge for the talent in question. Sure he had a face that every television viewer could single out thanks to a diverse filmography that included roles in Married with Children, The Wonder Years, NYPD Blue, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The West Wing, and Ugly Betty, but thanks to recurring roles on the animated Legion of Super Heroes and the hit Showtime series Weeds he reached a new level of success. Cast as Lightning Lad in the former and stoned husband Dean Hodes in the later, Milder was finally attaining the kind of recognition he deserved. Additional feature roles in Domino, Transformers, and Frost/Nixon found his film career holding up respectably around this time as well. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
