From "Annuario degli Attori 1984-85"
Andrew Lord Miller, often credited simply as "Andy Miller", is a presumably British or American actor based in Italy, where he played small parts in films from at least the mid 1970s and all the way into the 2000s.

Andy's distinctive appearance, characerized by his heavy build, big round glasses and huge fuzzy hair, earned him some memorable character parts in a couple of comedies, and also played reasonably large roles in two films by Fellini. He never got his big break in films, however, and spent most of his career playing small, and sometimes uncredited roles - frequently as British or American characters.

Around the mid 1980s, he seems to have cut his wild fuzzy hair short and also lost a noticeable amount of weight, giving him a much more serious appearance, and this was also reflected in the roles he was cast in.

Andy's entry in the "Annuario degli attori 1984-85" shows that his agent during the mid 1980s was Fernando Piazza, who specialized in representing foreign actors and English-language voice dubbers. Other than that, no biographical details are known.

In the notorious Caligola (1979, but filmed in 1976) as Senator involved in land dispute.

IMDb lists his character as "Senator Acesius" but he is never referred to by name in the film itself.

Io e caterina (1980) credited as "Andy Miller", as The robotic engineer.

This comedy starring Alberto Sordi as a man who buys a female robot due to his problems with women features a good supporting role for Andy as the American engineer who creates the robot.
