“Look, it’s tough when you’re a young actor. People aren’t really seeing the career that you’re going to carve out,” Miles expressed. “You’re just trying to get work, some screen time. Just do anything… but it was a time when I said, I don’t want to play a kid or somebody’s son. I wanted to play my own man. I knew it was time for me to kind of evolve. Look, nobody tells you that. You just have to say now’s the time. For me, it was absolutely a pivotal point in my career, time to step up and challenge myself. Playing Vinny Paz was that opportunity.”

FYI: Miles is wearing a Sandro jacket.
