Ben Miller

 (born 24 February 1966 ) played the Sheriff of Nottingham in the Doctor Who television story Robot of Sherwood.

Career
Miller is perhaps best known for his comedy work alongside Sarah Jane Adventures star Alexander Armstrong. He also had a starring role in Primeval, as well as the first two series of Death In Paradise. He has also appeared in a number of successful British feature films, including The Parole Officer, Johnny English (with Rowan Atkinson) and Noel Clarke's 4.3.2.1.

Miller previously began studying for a PhD in Physics, with a thesis entitled "Novel quantum effects in low-temperature quasi-zero-dimensional mesoscopic electron systems", although he later chose his comedy and acting career over completing this. He also presented an episode of the BBC's science series Horizon, entitled What Is One Degree?

He was once asked by the BBC if he would be interested in playing the Doctor and indicated he was but heard nothing further.

Personal life
He was once married to Belinda Stewart-Wilson, who appeared in Big Finish's The New Counter-Measures.
