Actor, Teacher, Model, Musician and novice Filmmaker, Colin Mulligan was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He first studied acting at John Burroughs School under the tutelage of long-time performer and director Wayne Salomon. Colin appeared in several of the school's performances, including 'Grease' and 'The Black Comedy.' He also produced and hosted a charity talent show with the help of fellow JBS grad Jon Hamm, who had returned to the school as a post-graduate instructor.
Colin continued his theater studies at the University of Virginia, where he also lettered in varsity football. However, due to the time demands of college athletics, he was unable to appear in any of the drama department's theatrical productions. After completing his Master's Degree in Political Science, Colin then entered what he calls his 'Wandering Hippie Phase,' spending much of the next several years journeying across Africa, the Middle East and Tibet.
With renewed purpose and a haircut, Colin found his way to New York City in 2007. While working as a teacher and Vice-Principal, he was "scouted" on the streets of Manhattan, an unlikely event which led to his signing with top international modeling agency Wilhelmina NYC. Since then, Colin has featured in fashion and advertising campaigns around the world, including for such clients as: Cadillac, Tommy Hilfiger, Ducati, Samsung, HSBC, Botox, Century 21 & many others.
Since making the transition into acting, Colin has appeared in a variety of on-screen and on-stage productions. He plays 'Head Shaman Ted' in the 2019 BET+ series 'The First Wives Club,' Jesus Christ in the YES-TV miniseries 'Daughters of Eve,' and also appeared as Sattar (the interrogator) in the NYC off-Broadway production of J. Paul Deratany's acclaimed play, 'Haram! Iran!' Additionally, Colin featured in the independent films "All the Beautiful Things," and "Overruled."
Colin is based in Los Angeles and New York City, where he lives with his wife, the artist and fashion designer Masha D'yans. In addition to acting and modeling, Colin makes academic documentaries and related curriculum materials; his best-known work is the documentary short, 'Hola, Flamenco.' Colin plays guitar, bass and keyboards, is an avid surfer, loves to cook and practices yoga daily. He speaks several languages proficiently, including French, Spanish, Russian & Arabic (MSA).
