My name is Miles Borchard and I’m a professional actor, juggler, and fitness instructor in Chicago. I moved to the city in 2015 to study at the Chicago College of Performing Arts where I graduated with a BFA in Acting and have stayed there ever since! I am represented by Shirley Hamilton Talent Agency.
My next show is Billie Jean at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre! Previews begin July 18th, 2025 and show closes August 10th, 2025. Tickets available here.
I recently starred in a Sell Your Rights with Fresh Hell Productions and Brawl with an independent producer.
Feel free to check out my media page where I have my juggling reel along with my acting reel and a slew of headshots.
I’d also love to hear from you! Shoot me an email at mtborchard@gmail.com.
Recent credits include “Dead Man Walking“ at the Lyric Opera, “Southern Gothic” at Windy City Playhouse, “Villette” at the Lookingglass Theatre, and “Sell Your Rights” with Fresh Hell Productions.
Reviews
“The play’s one true… grace is Borchard’s performance as Paul, which is full of genuine intensity.” – Sun Times
“Borchard is a sweetly sensitive and guarded Paul.” – Third Coast Review
“Borchard’s portrayal of Paul — the intelligent, witty aspiring painter — is genuine. With sincere emotions and reactions to each situation he finds himself in — from the death of his brother to trying to understand love — Borchard creates a bona fide character for an audience to empathize with.” – Loyal Phoenix
“Borchard is striking in inhabiting the role so naturally. Onstage nearly in every scene, Borchard reacts continuously to those around him, and develops a portrait of an unselfconscious young man navigating the exploration of life, and love – exactly the character D.H. Lawrence placed in his page” – Buzz News
“Isn’t he just fantastic?” – Rick Bayless, Celebrity Chef
