ABOUT
MICHAEL TRUCCO

AUTHOR
Born and raised in San Mateo, California, he graduated from Santa Clara University with a BA in Theatre Arts and was quickly headed to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of a career in Film and Television. He didn’t have to wait long. A recurring role on “BEVERLY HILLS 90210” brought Michael the recognition he sought and he followed that with a starring role on the CBS Series “PENSACOLA: WINGS OF GOLD” opposite James Brolin for two seasons.
But he is perhaps best known for his portrayal of ‘Samuel T. Anders’ on the critically acclaimed Sci-Fi series “BATTLESTAR GALACTICA” and for ‘Justin Patrick’ on the USA Network series “FAIRLY LEGAL”. He also appeared opposite Jessica Biel and Nicholas Cage in the film “NEXT” and headlined the “BATTLESTAR GALACTICA” prequel movie “The Plan”.
Recent film and television credits include Mike Flanagan’s horror series “MIDNIGHT MASS” which is currently streaming on Netflix, Blumhouse feature “HUSH” for Netflix, “THE BYE BYE MAN” with Carrie-Anne Moss for STX, and the feature “HUNTER KILLER” with Gerard Butler and Gary Oldman. Michael also appeared in “THROUGH THE GLASS DARKLY” directed by Lauren Fash, and will star in “THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER” directed by Mike Flanagan for Netflix.

Michael can next be seen in the CBS series “FIRE COUNTRY” and as a series regular in the BET series “AVERAGE JOE”.

I love to help create and empower people who want to and deserve to and should tell stories—whether it’s their original stories, whether it’s ideas that are generated here, whether it’s things that we come up with together. My favorite thing to do is finding storytellers who have an idea, have a sense of something, and now maybe even a song or a book or a game and finding ways to realize those things.
