Both very plausible suggestions but neither are (sadly) correct.

So was the answer John Cusack. Justin didn't read the question.

Neither did you then, because it asked for the film's star, which you gave and I did not, and the title, which I gave and you did not.

Since you had already given the film's title, I didn't think that it was necessary to repeat it.

Apparently Ray Keene is a widower, a high school gym teacher, ex-cop, and well-intentioned but not very able dad to Chris.

A waste of the excellent Morgan Freeman, by all accounts

And, according to Wikipedia, Miles is played by Alice Krige.
