Confident, resilient, and intuitive young man who firmly believes that life is less about what happens to you, and more about how you react to it. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Michael Erik’s love for storytelling sparked his acting career. 

 

Growing up however, he had hoop dreams to one day make it to the NBA. He played high school & college basketball, and coincidentally uses that sports background as a competitive advantage in the entertainment industry. 

 

Taking classes at Break Into Hollywood Studios, OneonOneNYC , and private coaching with Tracey Moore helped build a strong foundation. With the training acquired, Michael has been able to book roles and seen on SHOWTIME, Amazon Prime, and SUNDANCE 2020 film festival. 

 

Fun Fact: Michael is actually of Jamaican descent AND speaks Spanish fluently; De Verdad! He’s hopeful to use his Jamaican dialect or Spanish speaking skills on the screen in the near future. 

 

Most recently, Michael took a leap of faith, moving to Los Angeles, California to explore more film and television opportunities. The Brooklyn Native turned LA Transplant has acclimated quite nicely to Hollywood. You will be sure to recognize his unforgettable smile in the Box Office in no time. Michael is looking forward to star in a leading roll next to some of his idols, Wood Harris, Jamie Hector, and Michael K Williams one day.
