Kenneth Miller, "Proof"

Reggie Miller is a supporting character on Devious Maids. As an immigration lawyer, he was originally found and paid for by the maid friends of Rosie Falta, whose case he helped to win... that is, until she ultimately betrayed him to his family, with whom he landed her a job. When he started stealing money from his uncle, Kenneth, and put plots in motion to get rid of Kenneth's wife and daughter, Rosie could take no more and ensured that he got what was coming to him by using his own "romantic" gifts against him and having him end up back in court - this time as the criminal.

Early Life[]

Quote1
My Uncle never helped my mom. Not when she lost her job, not when she struggled to put me through school...
Quote2
Reggie Miller, "Long Day's Journey Into Night"

When Reggie's mother was going through hard times and needed money, his uncle Kenneth refused to help. Instead, he was spending his money on a fancy art work and living a life of luxury. Reggie grew resentful of Kenneth, but he never revealed it to anyone. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night")

Later in life, Reggie became a lawyer. Eventually, Kenneth has a paralyzing stroke. Reggie decides to take advantage of this. He begins plotting on how he will get his uncle's Power of Attorney, thus having access to all of his money and being able to send him to a nursing home. ("An Ideal Husband", "Betrayal")

Mr. Kenneth was getting stronger, he wanted to take back control of his business, so you made him fall to get rid of him! Just like you got rid of Mrs. Didi and Miss Lucinda!

Reggie defends Rosie and Miguel at their immigration trial. ("An Ideal Husband")

Reggie is first seen standing before the judge attempting to get Rosie and Miguel permission to stay in the United States.

Rosie's friend Marisol then enters the courtroom and sits by her friends - Carmen and Zoila. As the judge and Reggie talk, Marisol announces to her friends that her boyfriend of three months, Nicholas, proposed the night before. Zoila cracks a joke and the three friends laugh. The judge turns to them and asks why there are people laughing in his courtroom. The three friends immediately stop and look around, acting innocent. The judge then decides that Rosie can stay in America for the next six month until she applies for asylum. He then dismisses her. ("An Ideal Husband")

Later on, at Kenneth's birthday, Reggie is there, and Didi shows off as the doting wife. Lucinda tells Rosie that Reggie handles the will so every time he shows up, Didi is on her best behavior.

Reggie says to tell Lucinda that he will get to it. Rosie tells him to be nice because Lucinda has had a hard life. Reggie scoffs, asking how sponging off her father makes her life hard. Rosie reminds Reggie of how Kenneth made her give away her baby. Reggie is surprised that Lucinda would tell her about that.
