McMillian was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and grew up in Olathe, Kansas, attending Blue Valley Northwest High School through his sophomore year. In 1995, McMillian transferred to Interlochen Arts Academy where he studied acting, play writing and screenwriting. He has said that during his teen years, he was not a "full-on nerd [but was] reading comic books ... wasn't good in sports" and "got picked on a lot". McMillian went on to attend Carnegie Mellon University, where he was spotted and signed by an agent after a senior class showcase.
McMillian has acted in films and television shows and has contributed voice work to a number of video games. He garnered attention for his starring role in the independent film Dorian Blues, playing a young man struggling with his family's reaction to his coming out. He played Greg in the original pilot episode of Luis, but gave up the series in favor of making his then-recurring What I Like About You character, Henry Gibson, a regular. McMillian also penned an episode during the third season of What I Like About You. He also played the role of Harper in the TNT's Saved. His most recent film role was in Imagine That.
