Michael Wayne Foster
Michael Wayne Foster is an American actor and producer. Born in Monroe, Michigan to Rowland Foster (Educator) and Emilie (Brumby) Foster (R.N.). After graduating from Mount Union College in Ohio, Michael became a high school English teacher for 9 years. This is where Michael sharpened his improv skills, which were called upon in 2005 when he first appeared on national television. "I always loved acting. The chance to get out and work in New York learning of the opportunities the entertainment industry provides was overwhelming. It (Hollywood) had my attention and I wanted to see what possibilities I could explore." With a M.A. in education and a B.A. in English, Michael set his sights on a newfound passion: film and television acting. In less than a year he resigned from education and moved to Los Angeles. "Teaching was an incredible journey and I am so lucky to have been a part of so many great kid's lives. However; every journey has to end when another begins," he reflected.
Michael has built up a formidable career in Hollywood as an actor in both film, commercial and television. His numerous credits began when he first appeared in Gi Joe: The Rise of Cobra as a Cobra neo-viper. "Having the opportunity to play one of my favorite childhood characters was such an incredible feeling," he stated. "I even had multiple viper toys because I liked them so much!" He followed that feeling with another childhood dream in Miracle at Gate 213 where he played opposite of Academy Award winners Louis Gossett Jr. and Shirley Jones. Michael then landed guest-starring roles in 90210, Disney's Kickin' It and Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything, MTV's Awkward, Nickelodeon's The Thundermans and Henry Danger, The Middle, Black-ish, MacGyver and Lethal Weapon. He recently starred as ring announcer "Richie Simmonsma" in MMA drama Embattled. "Working with someone as talented and seasoned as Stephen Dorff on a project written by David McKenna (Blow, American History X) was an incredible experience. It really elevated my game." Michael has appeared multiple times on SYFY's Face-Off which contributed to his work in creature and make-up/special effects heavy productions. He has also been featured on ABC, ABC Family, Fox, STYLE, BRAVO, National Geographic and A&E. After securing the starring role in 2016's David V Goliath, IMDB named him #32 on their list of Hollywood's most physically imposing actors. He also has appeared on multiple national commercials for companies such as AT&T, Coca-Cola, Virgin America and Novartis.
Michael has appeared on over 800 international romance novel covers including works by many USA Today best-selling authors . "I got into the romance industry in the only way I ever would- with my sense of humor," he laughed. "It is a career that has allowed me the opportunity to travel this great country and meet so many new people. I have made a lot of lifelong friends because I took a chance," he continued. Michael recently donated his trademark hair when it was cut for his latest role as an American Army officer in the Korean period film "Road to Boston."
Michael is an avid skier and traveler. He resides in Glendale, CA with his wife, daughter and dogs.
