T.J. Miller

[COMEDY] Fans will recognize TJ Miller from the hit HBO show Silicon Valley, but those who don’t watch the show will probably still recognize Miller from his many public controversies. The 37-year-old comedian is currently under investigation for falsely reporting a bomb threat on an Amtrack train earlier this year, and earlier this summer he was accused by former Silicon Valley co-star Alice Wetterlund of bullying her while on the set of the show. Miller left Silicon Valley after four seasons.

Yet somehow, Judas Priest moves forward and builds on its monumental legacy.
