Irvin Colloden Miller (February 19, 1884 – February 27, 1975) was an African-American actor, playwright, and vaudeville show writer and producer.
He was responsible for successful theater shows including Broadway Rastus (1921), Liza (1922), Dinah (1923), which introduced the wildly popular black bottom dance, and Desires of 1927 starring Adelaide Hall.
For thirty years he directed the popular review, Brown Skin Models, influenced by the Ziegfeld Follies but exclusively using black performers.
"In the 1920s and 1930s, he was arguably the most well-established and successful producer of black musical comedy."
