Mike Bianco grew up in Providence, Rhode Island. From an early age he learned to talk loud and fast from his blue collar Lebanese and Italian parents. Learning the need to hustle early he started his first business selling candy to his schoolmates.
In his early adulthood he was sent away to school in Connecticut where he learned the ins and outs of money management. Shortly thereafter he moved south to New York City, where he worked for prestigious firms such as Lehman Brothers.
After a couple years of the Wall Street hustle, Mike gravitated to the world of character portrayal performing in sketch comedy shows as well as various Off-Off Broadway productions. His roles include Chris Ryan in the award-winning feature “CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT” in which he received a nomination for Best Actor at the ReelHeart Film Festival in Toronto.
After spending a short time in Los Angeles where he studied at The Berg Studios, IO West and Second City, he returned to the gritty streets of NYC to continues his acting career in Film and Theatre, while studying at The Freeman Studio in Tribeca.
