Mike was born in Tuckerton NJ. From an early age he battled a form of autism, his interest in puppets and ventriloquism helped him cope with this disorder. He attended Southern Regional High and graduated from Pinelands Regional High School. He proudly served a tour in the United States Coast Guard. Mike was a long time ventriloquist and Announcer for the Tropicana in Atlantic City. He also spent over 20 years as a radio announcer and voice over artist at many south Jersey Radio stations. Mike has performed his Ventriloquist act all over the East Coast, and across several southern States. He has also acted in many small roles in commercials, regional theater and short films, but his breakout performance was as the Ventriloquist in John Carpenters Halloween Kills. He said working for Director David Gordon Green was a dream come true. He helped entertain the other actors between scenes. Mike still does voice overs and cartoon voices and he can be heard all across the U.S. He still enjoys performing as a ventriloquist, mostly for good causes. Mike's hobbies include collecting vintage wood ventriloquist figures and collecting and repairing antique broadcast Microphones. Show less «
