About Miles Orman

  • Miles Orman (born December 4, 1984) is a former child actor who played Miles Robinson on Sesame Street from 1985 to 1994.
  • He later played college basketball for the Marist Red Foxes. Miles Orman is the son of Roscoe Orman, who played Miles Robinson's adopted father Gordon.
  • Roscoe 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 Roscoe's son Miles was a year old, he revisited the idea.
  • 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," Roscoe said in 1986.
  • "He's very outgoing and friendly.
  • He likes people and that's helpful; he's not a wallflower."Orman grew up in Englewood, New Jersey and attended Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, a Catholic all-male college preparatory school.
