Mike G, a native of Oregon, embarked on a new chapter in his life by leaving a thriving career as a Communications Behavioral Specialist, where he focused on autism, to pursue his long-held passion for film. Following his arrival in Hollywood, he secured his first major break on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and soon became a prized client of a prominent talent agency. His unique blend of skills, honed from his experience in Communications and Behavior, enabled him to book job after job, solidifying his status as a sought-after talent.
As he worked on various sets, Mike G identified a pressing need in the industry - a lack of authentic Latino gangsters and accessible professional models. This observation sparked the idea for MG Casting, a venture that would provide talent, while also offering his own services as a model. Initially, the business thrived as a side hustle, but it eventually evolved into a full-fledged operation, offering a wide range of services, including locations, vehicles, animals, music, clothing lines, product placement, and investors.
This natural segue into producing allowed Mike G to explore his creative side, both in front of and behind the camera. Today, he is working on multiple projects, juggling his passion for acting with his newfound love for producing.
