Recognition
The Sacramento News & Review called Miller's portrayal of Ebenezer Scrooge in the Sacramento Theatre Company's December 2007 production of A Christmas Carol, "outstanding".
In 2009, he wrote and starred in the solo show Fits & Parts: My Life in Stages, a memoir on his own career as working actor and voiceover artist for Japanese anime. Of his performance, Sacramento News & Review wrote that Miller's "personable outlook, storytelling skills and good timing with jokes make a winning combination," with the Sacramento Bee called his performance both entertaining and engaging. Also in 2009, Miller wrote Beat Aside Apollo's Arrow, for which he received a John Gassner Award.
Sacramento Bee made special note of Miller's debut as director of the Sacramento Theatre Company in their review of the theatre company's October 2010 presentation of The Importance of Being Earnest, writing "The importance of this 'Earnest' lies in its significance as director Matt K. Miller's debut as STC artistic director and as the company's season-opening production. Though Miller did not select the comedy or most of the STC 2010–11 season, he recognizes his good fortune in the playbill, noting 'Earnest' is as close to 'fool-proof' as a play gets". They also made note of Miller having adapted the play slightly so that it moved briskly.
In praising the STC's November 2010 presentation of The Owl and the Pussycat, the Sacramento Bee wrote "the production is as good as it is as a tribute to Miller and his cast and crew."
In Miller's return to the character of Scrooge in December 2010, Sacramento Press writes, "It is the portrayal of Scrooge that makes the difference between a good and a great production of A Christmas Carol. Fortunately for STC, they have Matt K. Miller, an outstanding and very experienced Scrooge." The noted that Miller's transition from Scrooge the miser to the loving and generous Scrooge is very believable.
