Michael Island

When the Producers were looking to cast someone for the iconic role of "Big Mike" aka "The Boogeyman" a physically imposing, malevolent drug kingpin; they looked no further than Michael, who was already working as a Security Guard on their set! Michael was no stranger to hustling and surviving on the streets, and had even spent some time behind bars during his youth. He brought a swaggering boldness to the role, that no other actor could emulate. The rest is history! Michael Island is a rising star and a perfect casting choice for big-budget action films, along side of stars such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Denzel Washington, Vin Diesel and Mark Wahlberg.
