Michael Ursu

Also known as "Maku" to his close friends, Michael-Alexander Kyle Ursu is a SAG-E actor, musician/composer, and voice actor. Born and raised in Queens, New York, he graduated with a B.A. in Music from Occidental College and was inspired by former bandmates to pick up acting while playing shows in Los Angeles. Michael was praised for his raw talent and potential by close industry friends and decided to switch focus from composing shorts and commercials to starring in film and TV. His background in music has helped him secure roles in musical productions, having been cast in musicals as talent and music director, and even starring in an Elton John VR promo playing bass. A jack of all trades, he also does sound design and writes under the stage name "Maku", being likened to artists like Jack Johnson and John Mayer. Known for giving it his all, Michael is not one to back down from a challenging role. He's played musicians, bartenders, stoners, 70s slackers, boyfriends, writers, dealers, indie directors, futuristic time cops, and soldiers; a truly versatile kind of actor. Aside from surfing, Michael loves playing fetch with his yellow lab Simba and playing his guitar on his West Hollywood balcony.
