For Ezra Miller, performing was an early ambition. The actor and musician began training as an opera singer at age six to help get rid of his stutter, and by eight, he was already performing professionally.
對伊薩．米勒而言，表演是很早就有的志向。這名演員暨音樂人六歲就開始接受歌劇演員的訓練以戒除口吃的問題，到了八歲，他已經能參與專業演出了。

As he grew older, Miller became heavily influenced by the Harry Potter books and movies. To him, they were more than just stories. "To have a resource like these stories that remind you of what's good in the world . . . was helpful to me in many ways," he says. Miller often faced bullying in school because of his stutter and personal interests. To cope, he would come home and spend hours listening to Harry Potter audiobooks.
米勒漸漸長大時，深受哈利波特的書和電影的影響。對他而言，它們不只是故事而已。他說︰「有像這些故事這樣的資源提醒你世界上什麼是善的……在許多層面對我很有用。」米勒在學校裡因為口吃和個人的興趣而常遭到霸凌。為了因應這個問題，他會回家花好幾個小時聽哈利波特的有聲書。

It's fitting, then, that he was chosen to act in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was written by J. K. Rowling. What's more is that Miller's character, Credence Barebone, reminded him of his own experiences as a troubled child. One of Rowling's messages, he says, is that people always have the choice to stand up for others.
因此他獲選演出J. K. 羅琳所寫的《怪獸與牠們的產地》就非常適合。還有一點是米勒所飾演的角色——魁登斯．巴波——讓他想起自己小時候充滿苦惱的經驗。他說，羅琳想傳達的其中一項訊息就是人永遠可以選擇為別人挺身而出。
