Early Life

Michael Cimino was born on the 10th of November 1999 in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, to his father Philip who is of Italian and German ancestry while his mother is of Puerto Rican descent. Michael has had a handful of experiences with racism growing up.

Especially in elementary school, he stated that all of the kids in school used to be like oh he eats bugs because he’s brown and they used to throw him on the floor and kick him. Cimino also says that he is kind of glad that he faced all that adversity at an early age because it gave him the tool to understand these problems and compassion.

After learning very important life lessons at a very young age, Michael kicked off his professional acting career at the age of 12. That was when he was discovered by an industry manager eating at a Subway of all places. This man signed Michael up for some acting lessons and quickly became so impressed with his skills.

Early Career

At the time Michael was too young his mother helped him to settle back and forth between Las Vegas and Los Angeles every time he had an audition. At first, he did that for multiple years and was booked for a few gigs such as a GEICO commercial but he didn’t receive any recognition.

At the age of 13, Michael would take his passion more seriously so he began shifting his priorities. He switched over to online courses in the 8th grade because he knew that would allow him to graduate faster. Michael received his high school diploma three years later and then began working with his dad full-time doing electrical work, also pursuing his goal of acting on the side.

Apart from that he also did some odd jobs including working nights at a restaurant called Saddle Ranch Chop House, where he was the mechanical bull operator. He only worked there a few months before his big break in the American film industry would come knocking at his doors.

Career

Prior to his big break in 2019, Michael had appeared in a few small projects such as CBS’s short-lived series titled Traning Day in 2017. Cimino finally got his big role as Bob Palmeri in the 2019 supernatural horror movie Annabelle Comes Home. As the seventh film in the long-running and extremely popular conjuring series, this was an amazing chance for Michael to make an impression on Hollywood.

Breakthrough

Not long after the release of that movie, he’d booked his breakthrough role as the lead character of Victor Salazar in the teen comedy television series Love, Victor. Inspired by the 2018 film Love Simon which earned enough money at the box office to indicate to network execs that TV series could be equally as Lucrative, Love, Victor was set in the same universe as the original film and premiered on Hulu in June of 2020.

That series quickly became successful being the most-watched drama on the streaming platform during its first season of release. He starred in that hit series alongside many other actors including, Ana Ortiz, Rachel Hilson, Mason Gooding, George Sear, and Anthony Turpel.

When he was initially offered the role, Michael was counseled by his family members not to take the role out of fear that Cimino would be typecast as a gay actor. Thankfully he chose to ignore that advice, instead, he sat down with his cousin who shared his own experience as a gay man with Cimino to help him give his performance the essential authenticity.

But just Michael was getting more success than he ever had before the world shut down and brought everything to a halt. The world entered the pandemic right after Michael finished the first season of Love, Victor. The initial numbers of the series were so good that a second season was quickly ordered.

Other Ventures

In the meantime he also worked on various other projects, so he chose to focus on activism by starting We Movement, an organization established to encourage inclusivity, and community, and address systemic injustices.

Apart from all that, Michael also pursued his career in music as he release several tracks including “Everything I Own” which was part of the film Annabelle Comes Home, soundtrack along with others such as “Love Addi*t”. It was released in June of 2021 and Talia Jackson has been featured in the music video of the song.

While season three of the hit series Love, Victor, is the show’s final season, Michael will now turn his sights towards brand new acting projects he recently played the role of Lance in the Netflix comedy film Senior Year. He is also said to voice the main character of Kevin Grant-Gomez in the upcoming Disney series entitled Hamster & Gretel.
