Mini Bio -
Michael Morano was born in Poughkeepsie, New York to Italian-American parents, Loreta Marcinelli and Allie Morano Sr. He grew up in Mt. Carmel Square's Little Italy where his Italian immigrant grandparents settled when they came over from the old country. When he was a teenager, he started his career off as a musician, singing and playing drums throughout the Hudson Valley. He then studied acting in New York with legendary teachers such as Edward Morehouse at HB Studio and Roger Simon at Roger Simon Studio. After appearing in a string of plays, Michael's interest was more for the movies. So at the age of twenty, he packed up and took a Greyhound three thousand miles west.
Making his way to Hollywood, California in the 80's Michael got signed with Commercials Unlimited Talent Agency and has performed in over 20 national commercials, Burger King, Levis, Sprite, Budweiser, to mention a few. C.E.D Talent Agency, now C.E.S.D spotted Michael's talent and was eager to sign him. As his career took a bright future, it was put on hold for an honorable reason. Michael moved back to New York and singlehandedly raised his newborn son. Balancing fatherhood and traveling from Poughkeepsie to New York City for his career, he had to make a choice. At that time, Michael was on contract with the Norelco Company, once his contract was up, he put his career on pause to raise his son full time until he was the age of twenty-one.
Now in his fifties, he moved back to Hollywood, California to finish what he started. Easier said than done... life knocks pretty hard, but Michael keeps knocking back. Adding screenwriting to his diverse skills, Michael has finished many screenplays, pilots and has acted in movies such as "A Brooklyn Love Story", a romantic comedy, "Wrong For Right", a Drama/Action, "Palmdale", Drama, "Her Bodyguard" a Mystery/Romance for Lifetime Network, "Insight," an Crime/Sci-Fi/Thriller, and "Bride+1," a romantic comedy. He also has written, directed and starred in his short film/music video "No One Ever Tells You". As vocalist/entertainer, Michael has performed his one man show "A Night of Sinatra" on many stages in the Los Angeles area, including the famous Herb Albert's Vibrato Jazz and Grill.
