Miles Orman (b. December 4, 1984 in Englewood, New Jersey) played Miles on Sesame Street from 1985 until 1992. He is the real-life son of Roscoe Orman, who plays Miles Robinson's father, Gordon. Roscoe Orman originally suggested that Gordon and Susan have a child when he first joined the show in 1974. At the time, the producers felt that it was too complicated to cast a baby to play the part. Ten years later, when Orman's son Miles was a year old, he revisited the idea. Father Roscoe remembers, "Caroll Spinney offhandedly said one day, 'That son of yours is so cute -- he's such a great kid -- we should bring him on the show and let him be your son.' I said that I had suggested something like that years ago but it was shot down. And he said, 'Well, you know, you could even adopt him.' That

  • Miles Orman (b. December 4, 1984 in Englewood, New Jersey) played Miles on Sesame Street from 1985 until 1992. He is the real-life son of Roscoe Orman, who plays Miles Robinson's father, Gordon. Roscoe Orman originally suggested that Gordon and Susan have a child when he first joined the show in 1974. At the time, the producers felt that it was too complicated to cast a baby to play the part. Ten years later, when Orman's son Miles was a year old, he revisited the idea. Father Roscoe remembers, "Caroll Spinney offhandedly said one day, 'That son of yours is so cute -- he's such a great kid -- we should bring him on the show and let him be your son.' I said that I had suggested something like that years ago but it was shot down. And he said, 'Well, you know, you could even adopt him.' That really started my wheels turning and I mentioned it to [Executive Producer] Dulcy Singer." The producers were intrigued by the adoption angle, and cast Miles in the role. "The idea is that he'll grow up on the show -- for as long as he wants to," the senior Orman said in 1986. "He's very outgoing and friendly. He likes people and that's helpful; he's not a wallflower." From 2003 to 2007, Orman played basketball for the Marist College Red Foxes; in 2004, he was called the "king of the lay-up line 360-degree dunk" and star of their practices. His last game was February 22, 2007.
