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 a Talent Agency by 13. He worked professionally as an actor during high school in commercials, voice-overs, and print.
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.
Mike is also a private pilot! He received his license from Spartan College of Aeronautics in Tulsa, OK in 2003.
After performing as Nakawa in Disney's Festival of the Lion King and receiving rave reviews for his role in Lauren Gunderson's 2-person play, I and You, at Mad Cow Theatre in Orlando, FL, Mike has returned to New York City. He is a proud member of Actors' Equity since 2008.
