Daniel Miller was an enterprise reporter for the Los Angeles Times who worked on investigations and features. He wrote about a missing, million-dollar pocket watch once owned by J.P. Morgan, exposed sexual misconduct allegations at L.A.’s storied Magic Castle, documented the surprising friendship that sparked the Southland’s sushi revolution and detailed the legal battles of a controversial classic car dealer. Miller was also the host of the 2019 podcast “Larger Than Life,” which chronicled the life of street racer Big Willie Robinson. Before that, he reported on the business of entertainment for five years at The Times, breaking stories on sexual abuse allegations in Hollywood, uncovering the noir-soaked life of a Black detective with claimed connections to Raymond Chandler, and revealing the Walt Disney Co.’s complex business ties to the city of Anaheim. Miller was a Loeb Awards finalist in 2016 for “Selling Stardom,” a series on unscrupulous show business operators. An L.A. native and UCLA graduate, he joined the staff in 2013 and left in 2026.
