Acting |
Mike was born and raised in Nutley, New Jersey. Unlike many actors, he didn't always dream of being one as a child. Instead, acting was something that caught him completely by surprise while attending college at San Diego State University. What started out simply as a curiosity by taking a few acting classes and auditioning, soon blossomed into a life-long passion after he was cast in a few university productions. As a result, he decided to achieve a B.A. in Acting.
As he neared graduation, he was still unsure as to whether or not he wanted to pursue acting professionally but that question was answered in his last semester of college. During his final days at SDSU, he had the unique opportunity to portray "Leonardo" in Frederico Garcia Lorca's, "Blood Wedding", in the presence of legendary playwright, Edward Albee. Any doubts about what he wanted to do with his life were soon diminished when he met Mr. Albee afterwards and received positive feedback from him. "Thank you Mr. Albee!!!! That day changed my life forever!"
Although he grew up 15 minutes from New York City, Mike decided to pursue acting professionally in Los Angeles in the beginning of his career. Before heading to LA, he decided to get his first taste of professional experience by spending some time in San Diego doing local theatre, independent films, and some regional commercials.
