Michael Harkins was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. In high school he was always interested in Entertainment. At that point he knew that that was what he should be doing! He then decided to take some extra-curricular acting classes and get to know what direction was needed. He took his interest in Film and Television and then began pursuing a career in the performing arts, mainly focusing on developing a wide array of original characters. Michael went on a few commercial and film auditions, and booked his first commercial job! He landed his first principal featured role on "New York Undercover", and aside from these projects, he has had bit parts in more TV programs as well. Michael has since performed in several plays, films and studied with some of the best acting teachers in NYC and continues to do so.
