Canadian actor Miles Meili was a storyteller long before appearing on the hit series Trailer Park Boys, the web drama The Handmaid’s Tale, or becoming the voice of Jonathan Brooks’ cult-beloved Dungeon World books. A long-standing expat of numerous countries, he credits his global lifestyle with richly contributing to the qualities of intimacy, sincerity, and immediacy enjoyed by listeners of his audiobooks and real-life adventures.

 

Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Miles studied on-camera performance under television and theater actor John Dunsworth of Trailer Park Boys fame. He later appeared on the program as Jason Hendricks. Guided by Dunsworth, Miles spent his early years performing on local Canadian TV. In 2004, his love of travel inspired a move to South Korea, where he would spend the following ten years exploring his craft from an Eastern perspective.

 

Asia’s demand for ESL and globally distributed media enabled Miles to leverage his aptitude for languages. He developed a broad palette to draw from in terms of accents and pronunciations, a skill set he continuously works to expand. Within Seoul’s voice acting market, Miles was a mainstay in commercial narration, games, and animation work. Known for his professionalism, versatility, and warm delivery, he voiced thousands of scripts for local and international clientele.

 

In conjunction with his studio work, Miles served as a community leader in Seoul’s niche theater scene and transitioned to behind-the-scenes work as a screenplay and audio producer. Being equally at home in front of the camera, mic, and on stage, he eagerly sought creative opportunities in Seoul and neighboring countries. Along with his Korean TV ventures, Miles appeared in Larry Smith's Trafficker, shot in Thailand, and performed in the Chinese indie comedy Chinese Confusion. His final theatrical role in Seoul was that of Marcus Andronicus in Seoul Shakespeare Company's Titus Andronicus.

 

In 2015, Miles returned to Canada, settling in Toronto, Ontario. He has since produced over 120 audiobooks with ACX and major publishing houses, including Penguin Random House, Deyan, ECW Press, Bee Audio, and Findaway. He recently debuted as a writer and executive producer of the short film 365 Months, starring his infant daughter Piper Button. Along with his native English, Miles speaks French, Spanish, and some Korean and has “survival proficiency” in the languages of the countries he’s been privileged to visit. 

 

Miles lives with his wife and two daughters in Saskatchewan, Canada. When he isn’t storytelling, he enjoys playing guitar and baking sourdough bread.
