Mikey Graceffa

Mikey Graceffa is an accomplished Film, Television and Broadway actor. Born and bred in Waltham, Massachusetts, he grew up dancing in his aunt’s small studio and doing musicals at the local regional theatre. In 2014, Michael graduated from Vassar College with a BA in Drama. He spent most of his college years dancing with the Vassar Repertory Dance Theatre where he received extensive training in modern, ballet, and jazz.

Mikey started his career in Musical Theatre, with Broadway and  Broadway Tour credits including Aladdin, The Cher Show (OBC), Matilda, and Catch Me If You Can! Recently, after over 500 shows, he took his final bow as an original Broadway company member of Death Becomes Her.

In 2022 Mikey landed his breakout role in Joel Kim Booster’s  film success Fire Island as the delusional, hilariously vapid character ‘Rhys.’ He along with his cast mates (including Booster, Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers and Margaret Cho) were recognized by receiving a Glaad Award and a Gotham Award for their work as an ensemble.

Since then Michael has appeared in several television hits. In 2023 he landed the recurring role of ‘Richie,’ one of the original 1970s Chippendale dancers in Hulu’s Welcome to Chippendales. Last year, Mikey played ‘Derrrick’ a series regular on HBO/MAX’s critic’s raved Fantasmas, created by Julio Torres and produced by Emma Stone. Other credits include STARZ’ The Minx (Ivan) and Amazon Prime’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

His new short film, Im Gonna Kill You, where he stars alongside James Cusati-Moyer, will make its world debut this month at the ‘Inside Out Film Festival’ in Toronto. It will also have its national premiere in June at the ‘Provincetown Film Festival.’
