Mikael Mattsson

Born and raised in Sweden, Mikael did his first theatre appearance in a Christmas show at the age of six, and since then performance has been a major part of his life. His actual theatre career started in a theatre group at Vår Teater in Stockholm, where he actively participated in several major productions, including Anne Franks Diary. In High School, Mikael majored in Science with fire fighting and rescue, but continued to pursue his passion for acting with active participation in a fringe theatre group. After High School he did his compulsory military service, before moving on to do a one year diploma course in Acting at Folkuniversitetet in Stockholm. Mikael then made the move across the Atlantic to Santa Monica, CA, where he attended Santa Monica College and attained an AA-degree in Theatre Arts. Upon graduation he was accepted onto the Master program at Guildford School of Acting. At GSA Mikael performed in Mother Courage, First They Slaughtered The Angels, and The Secrete Rapture. During his time at GSA, Mikael was also awarded the Post Graduate Principals Award for his achievements. After graduation, Mikael moved back to Sweden and worked as an actor, staring in such projects as the award-winning short film Reyounion (2012), among others. During his time in Sweden, it became clear to Mikael, that he wanted to return to Los Angeles, and did so in 2012.
