Miles Burris is an actor and former professional football player for the Oakland Raiders. He is known for having great range between his action hero looks and comedic timing. He was born in Sacramento, California and raised in Granite Bay, California. At Granite Bay High School, he was a star on the football field. Yet his greatest accomplishment during that time was finding his future wife on campus (Jena Burris). After receiving nearly 10 full ride scholarships, he chose to attend San Diego State University where he excelled on the field and in the classroom. He was named the SDSU Scholar Athlete of the Year. He was a 2 time 1st Team All Mountain West Conference player and 2 time SDSU Defensive MVP of the year winner. After his college success, he was drafted in the 4th round to the Oakland Raiders. As soon as he was drafted he wasted no time in proposing to Jena. His career was cut short by an injury but not before making his presence known. He started at linebacker and was a leading tackler for 2 of his 3 seasons with the Raiders. He now takes the same grit, dedication, and determination he learned from football and applies it to his craft as an actor.
