McMillian was born in Olathe, Kansas and grew up in Kansas City and Olathe, attending Blue Valley Northwest High School.[1] 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".[1] He is a graduate of the Interlochen Center for the Arts, having attended the center for his junior and senior years, as well as studied at Carnegie Mellon University. He was spotted and signed on by an agent after a showcase audition at Carnegie.[2]

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.
