Mike Mitchell, Jr. was born in Kingston, Jamaica on September 18. He came to the United States at the age of 6 and was signed with Classic Model & Talent Agency by the age of 13. Mitchell worked professionally as an actor during high school in commercials, voice-overs, and print work.
Throughout high school and into college, Mike continued to pursue acting, landing lead roles in musicals like "Into The Woods," [his favorite show!] which ran for a limited engagement at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. He was also cast in several short films shot in and around Tulsa, OK.
Music, like acting, has always been an equal passion. Mike has played the piano as early as he can remember and first started singing in church. After a few Sundays of selecting well known songs, he decided to write his own. He has since written and copyrighted countless songs which he has performed at various venues around New York City. 12 of those songs, he self-produced in his living room, on an album called "Around the Corner" currently available on iTunes and Amazon.com!
Another interesting fact is that Mike is also a private pilot! He received his license from Spartan College of Aeronautics in Tulsa, OK, and is certified to fly any single engine-land aircraft. He has logged over 300 flight hours to date.
Mike Mitchell Jr. is a proud member of Actors' Equity and is represented by BlocNYC, CFT, and is freelancing with the voice over agency, AccessTalent.
