Jason Miller (Priest from “The Exorcist”) Interviewed About Making His Pulitzer-Prize-Winning Play Into a Film

My mother, Penny Crofton, spotted an excellent documentary on PBS the other night called “Miller’s Tale.” It’s a biographical film about playwright and actor Jason Miller. He’s the father of the actor Jason Patric, but more importantly he wrote “That Championship Season,” a play that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1973 and was made into a movie of the same name.

Miller, who died in 2001, was also an Oscar-nominated actor for his role in “The Exorcist.” You can watch “That Championship Season” here on YouTube. “Miller’s Tale” was directed by Rebecca Marshall Ferris.
