Michael D. Cohen is a Canadian actor and writer.
Born in Winnipeg, Michael and his family moved to Richmond, British Columbia when he was 10. As a big fan of Carol Burnett through her TV show, The Carol Burnett Show, and studying the actors appearing on that show, he was inspired to be an actor and writer, and won a Young Playwright's Contest at the young age of 12.
Years after graduating from college, Michael moved to Toronto, where he not only studied more acting, but landed his first voice job without an agent on the animated tv series Pippi Longstocking. Since then, he made appearances in TV shows such as Queer As Folk, Doc, Moville Mysteries, Roboroach and Henry’s World, and also did voiceovers for commercials for Microsoft, BMW, Dell, Ikea, Rogers AT&T, Bell Yellow Pages, Hyundai, and others.
Michael wrote, produced and starred in the short film Jew Jube Lives, which was nominated for the prestigious Golden Sheaf Award for Comedy from Yorkton’s Film and Video Festival in 2005, and won the national Moc Docs award for Best Mockumentary. He next played an ineffectual skinhead in the comedic short Skinheads, produced by NBCUniversal and Norm Jewison’s Canadian Film Centre.
Currently, Michael performs the voice of Ty Archer in the animated TV series, Grossology.
Michael currently resides both Los Angeles and Toronto.
