What shocking, sad news. I thought he was a talented actor that really didn’t get consistent, strong writing on any show. At times, his Billy captured a little of the essence of Terry Lester’s Jack. And as others have said, he really brought Jason back to life on GH. He had chemistry with everybody. My heart goes out to his loved ones and coworkers.

He passed from complications from a stroke. He was diagnosed in 2020 with Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a progressive neurological disorder which affects walking, balance, and eye movement. Average survival is 6 to 10 years after diagnosis.

So sad, but it is one of those times that we can be thankful that his suffering is over.

This is unconfirmed; Genius Celebs does not even look like a reliable enough source to believe this information from.

I am very sorry to hear this news. I have always really liked Billy Miller and enjoyed his work, going all the way back to his work as Richie on AMC. He was a talented actor and had chemistry with different female co-stars including some who struggled in other pairings. Kelly Monaco and Amelia Heinle brightened up in their pairings with him. I also remember having chemistry with Alexa Havins during his run on AMC and wondering what could have happened if she had stayed in that role/Richie hadn't been killed off. I remember Alexa saying he had a lot of talent and that she believed he would do well.

The last scenes of him as Richie/sparring with Annie/MCE on AMC are my favorite scenes of his. I loved the way they sparred about their relationship and family dynamic. It was very good work from him (and MCE too IMO).

May he Rest in Peace. 

 

 

 

 

 

He and MCE had such amazing chemistry it's sad they played siblings on AMC cause Annie and Richie could have been hot 🔥

Heartbreaking news.  I don’t watch Y&R and had stopped watching GH by the time he got there, but I LOVED him as Richie on AMC.  He had such a dynamic presence.  I think he was, by far, one of the best things about the JHB & BE era.  RIP.

 

Having trouble with Twitter embeds (can’t bring myself to use the other name), but @l3neee91 posted this goodbye video that Y&R cast and crew made for BM when he left:

Wow. Really unbelievable. Michael Fairman’s article appears to be down. I’m sure he’s being overloaded with traffic.

 

Way too young. May he RIP.

This was one of Miller’s Emmy reels:

 

I'm shocked. So young. He was an absolutely brilliant actor, certainly one of the bright spots on that era of Y&R. I too had always hoped he'd come back. He definitely played like the younger brother of Terry Lester's Jack. Just electric. 

Oh damn, to click into this thread after venturing onto this site for the first time today, what sad news to encounter. It seems as if there is always an ebb tide in regards to news on soap stars over the past several years. Getting hit by a tide of bad news, then seemingly waiting to get hit by the next wave. May he R.I.P.
