He is on the show "The Electric Company" on PBS and is great on that show. He also can be seen in plays throughout the city and New York filmed shows like "Rescue Me" and "Law & Order; SVU."

Will Miles does comedy all over the city of Chicago, has done it in New York, and has recently made the move to doing commercials.

Matt & Kim @ Pitchfork 2009

Matt & Kim are really cool people. My homie Julia introduced me to them saying they were cool, and after kickin it with them, I can only agree! They gave us both free tickets to Pitchfork this year and it was fun as hell. Of course they rocked, but I got a lil out of it and checked out MF Doom, Pharoahe Monch, and The Flaming Lips and saw some of the best shit Ive ever seen. M80 was pretty dope too. Then we all went to a Peddy Cash moped party on the South Side where the homie Curt from Flosstradamus was DJing. Dancing and partying all night. Boxing ring in the basement. And Matt introduced me to their England publicist and we got along rather famously. She was very cute and a British accent will do crazy things to me. Pitchfork was real dope this year for me. I would recommend it to anyone.

Also this song is used for the NBC show "Community." Crazy. Congrats to Matt & Kim. That looks like a funny ass show.
