Boots became one of Netflix’s most popular TV series in 2025. Following its October release, viewers were gripped by its emotional and witty adaptation of Greg Cope White’s 2015 memoir, The Pink Marine. Leading the cast is 13 Reasons Why alum Miles Heizer.
According to Boots‘ tagline, Miles plays a “bullied gay teen [who] joins the Marine Corps with his best friend despite risks. In boot camp they experience profound personal change amid danger, as their platoon confronts both literal and figurative landmines.”

As previously noted, Miles is recognized for his performance as Alex Standall in Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. He also starred in NBC’s Parenthood, playing the character Drew Holt. Miles has also appeared in multiple movies, including The Stanford Prison Experiment and Love, Simon.
Though there’s been no word of a second season for Boots yet, Miles told Variety in October 2025 that there were still “a lot of stories to tell, from more of Greg’s different experiences in the Marines to ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ to when it was repealed.”
“I would do it for 10 seasons if they let us,” Miles added.
Liam plays the role of Cameron Cope’s straight friend in Boots. The series is the actor’s breakout role, and he previously appeared in The Thing About Henry and an uncredited role in Code 3.
