Biografia
Michael Aaron Milligan is an American actor, producer, and comedian. He is best known for his role as "Macias" on Netflix' Outer Banks (2023), and as "Tuna" in the film Samaritan (2022) and as "Deke Ward" in the TV series FBI (2022). Michael's most notable appearances are in several films such as Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), Hell On The Border (2019), and Bad Candy (2020). Michael got his big break with his lead role in Shark Lake (2015), then went on to lead in Paradox (2016), The Last Heist (2016), and Siren (2016). He has also appeared on hit shows including 24:Legacy (7 eps), The Resident (2 eps), and guest-starred in MacGyver (3 eps). In addition to his work in front of the camera, Michael also enjoys performing his own stunts.
Michael was born (July 18, 1980) in Victoria, Texas but was raised in Sunnyvale, California until his family settled north of Atlanta, Georgia. His one-way ticket to stardom began soon after graduating high school when he started touring in a 5 member R&B/Pop group. Through song and dance, they took their message about drunk driving, strength of hope, and endurance of love to communities all across the southeastern United States. They visited over 5,000 high schools and eventually recorded a full-length EP album. After touring for 3 years with Next Page, it was time for Michael to pursue his other hidden passions: stand-up comedy and acting.
He moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and started booking various national television commercials including Coors Light, VISA and Mega Millions. From there, he took acting classes and workshops to further hone his skills. After realizing the film industry was starting to boom in Georgia, Michael moved back home to Atlanta in 2012, and has since taken his career to the next level by devoting his spare time to coaching others in the pursuit of their dreams.
