21* AwesomeDearBoy: How did Shailene Woodley convince him to take the role of Peter in ''{{Literature/Divergent}}''? By saying he'd get to punch her in the face.
22* CastTheExpert: He'd been a drummer in high school, which came in handy for ''{{Film/Whiplash}}''.
23* CreatorBacklash: He doesn't have much positive things to say about 2015's ''Film/{{Fantastic Four|2015}}'', along with the rest of the cast and crew.
24* DawsonCasting: He has found himself playing teenagers for most of his twenties. In ''Film/WarDogs'' he finally gets to play an early twenties character -- at the age of twenty-nine.
25* PlayingAgainstType: In ''Fantastic Four'' he plays the quiet, mild-mannered Reed Richards. At the time of his casting, most felt he'd be more suited to Johnny Storm, given his usual type.
26* PlayingWithCharacterType: ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'' deconstructs his character's lifestyle to show how he's really terrified of feeling ''anything'' and shows that his life is actually pretty empty. He's also firmly in JerkWithAHeartOfGold territory.
27* ProductionPosse: Worked with Creator/JosephKosinski on three consecutive films from the director -- ''Film/OnlyTheBrave'', ''Film/TopGunMaverick'' and ''Film/{{Spiderhead}}''.
28* RealitySubtext: He gets into serious car accidents in ''{{Film/Whiplash}}'' and ''Bleed for This'' and nearly causes one in ''Film/TheSpectacularNow''. He himself was in a near-fatal car crash once.
29* StarMakingRole: His performance as Andrew Neiman in ''Film/{{Whiplash}}'' earned him much praise and decisive recognition.
30* ThoseTwoActors: Has appeared with Creator/ShaileneWoodley in a [[Film/{{the Spectacular Now}} few]] [[Film/{{Divergent}} films]].
31* {{Typecasting}}: Miles usually gets cast as wisecracking DeadpanSnarker {{Jerkass}}es.
