Power of Law Honoree Darrell D. Miller: From Stage Standout to Hollywood Legal Elite


Darrell D. Miller journey from stage career to attorney for Angela Bassett, Ludacris and Taylor Tomlinson

One day during the troupe’s stay in Bombay (now Mumbai), Miller and several like-minded cohorts ventured out to Chowpatty, where they saw locals fishing the ocean waters from makeshift rafts made of oblong hunks of wood lashed together with rope that they would untie and leave on the beach at the end of each workday. Cast in a workshop production of a revival of the musical “Carnival!” at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Conn., he’d secretly drive 45 miles to New Haven several times a week to take an LSAT prep course during the day, then return for the evening’s performance. “It’s one thing to just have a lawyer do the work, but it’s also great that you understand what’s going on and can truly utilize the information given, so that when future deals come, you’re knowing exactly what you want and how to proactively come up with different options in business and negotiation,” says Ludacris of Miller, who began repping the rapper-actor around the time he debuted as Tej Parker in “2 Fast 2 Furious” (2003).
