Biography[]

Todd Joseph Miller (born June 4, 1981) in Denver Colorado, is an American actor, stand-up comedian, social critic, producer, and writer. In 2003, Miller graduated from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. with a B.A. in psychology with a concentration in situation theory and social influence.

T.J. Miller is a comedian who voices Tuffnut. He brings a depth to Tuffnut which would not have otherwise existed and brings new layers of comedy to a wonderful DreamWorks production. Although the character's ears and hair are no indication of the man himself, T.J.'s voice stands out distinctly with his improvisation skills and meta-style comedy.

In 2018, T.J. Miller was removed from the cast due to controversy. He was replaced by Justin Rupple, who took his role and voiced Tuffnut in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming.
