00:47 She said in a September 18 statement shared to social media by the actor's publicist,
00:51 "He fought a long, hard, valiant battle with bipolar depression for years.
00:56 He did everything he could to control the disease.

01:11 Miller played Billy Abbott on the Young and the Restless, and he won two Daytime Emmy
01:15 Awards for the role.
01:17 You lied, we talked, you're fired.
01:22 Thank you.
01:23 Thank you, no really, you just did the first decent thing you've ever done for me.
01:27 Now I can get the hell away from Newman and your silly little war and your obsession.
01:31 Oh yeah, that's right, you're the victim here.
01:34 You just stabbed me in the back.
01:35 Now let's start whining about big bad Jack.
01:38 Hey, I got an idea.
01:40 You already cut Ashley, now me.
01:42 Why don't you force Tracy into working for you so you can fire her too?
01:46 You know it's a real shame that Abby's-- This is about you and me and no one else.
01:50 I know better than that!
01:51 I know it's not just about me, it's the fact that I helped Victor Newman's daughter.
01:56 I didn't want to take this job!
01:58 I wanted to stay away from Newman and your stupid war and I told you that and you knew
02:02 it.
02:03 And you know what, you just proved me right.
02:04 And I'll tell you something else, Jack.
02:07 If Victoria can beat you, if she can get Newman back, then I am all for it.
02:15 Because that might be the only thing that'll save you from you.
02:20 Miller was also honored with touching tributes shared by fellow co-stars, including Chrishelle
02:24 Staus, who worked alongside Miller on All My Children.
02:28 She wrote on social media after his passing, "Too many feelings, but you are gone way too
02:33 soon and I'm so happy I got to work with you all those years but also call you a friend.
02:38 I hope you are at peace now."
