Celebrating the little victories: 'Broken' star Miles Tagtmeyer's journey to becoming an Emmy-nominated actor

Miles was nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for his role as Liam in 'Broken'
PUBLISHED AUG 24, 2018

26-year-old Miles Tagtmeyer had humble beginnings. A graduate of the Mendota Elementary School and the Friendly Hills Middle School in Mendota, Minnesota, the actor now finds himself in uncharted territories: he's been nominated for Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for his role as Liam in web drama series 'Broken.' Miles was recognized for his impeccable performance as a man who struggles to deal with the death of a friend and is still coping with the loss as the one-year anniversary approaches. Ailing from schizophrenia, he finds that his inner demons threaten to consume him. I'd love to spoil more, but the episodes are a crisp six to eight minutes long, and most definitely worth the watch. 

Miles had revealed the extent of his preparation and dedication to the role to Meaww in a previous interview, going into detail about the meticulousness and thoroughness required to master such a complicated character.
