Blake Michael, a talented young actor, was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and began his career at the tender age of three with numerous print jobs. As he grew older, he enrolled in acting classes with Lisina Stoneburner at the Company Acting Studio in Atlanta, where his passion for acting was nurtured and developed.
At the age of six, Blake was signed by Atlanta talent agent Joy Pervis, with whom he remained until moving to Los Angeles. His first principal role in a commercial was for Bojangles' Chicken, where he shared the spotlight with NC quarterback Jake Delhomme. He also appeared in the U.S. Army-sponsored Mark Schultz music video "Letters From War."
Blake's first worldwide exposure came in 2006 with his commercial for the game of the movie Zathura, which saturated the globe. He worked frequently as a model for Macy's for two years and, in the third grade, told his mom that he needed to be homeschooled because acting was what he wanted to do.
When Blake was ten, he was chosen to be the host of a series of four collaborative commercials for Hasbro Toys and Cartoon Network. This led to him hosting his own show on the network, "Fried Dynamite" on Fridays and "Dynamite Action Squad" on Saturdays, aimed at an audience of 6-11 year old boys. His stint with the network lasted three years.
In June 2010, Blake's talent was recognized by Disney, and he was cast in a lead role, 'Charlie', for the 2011 Disney made-for-TV movie musical, "Lemonade Mouth." Later that year, he wrote and directed a short film, "Anonymous," which debuted at teen festivals in April 2011.
Then, in November, Blake snagged a lead in the Disney Channel show "Dog with a Blog," featuring a talking dog. "Dog With a Blog" earned four Emmy nominations. While still filming the show, Blake wrote, directed, and composed the music for another of his original short films, which went on to win an award at the Red Rock Film Festival.
As a young boy, Blake followed in his big brother's footsteps, pursuing swimming and acquiring many state champion titles as well as a few state records. He also became one of the youngest people to acquire a YouTube partnership at the age of 12.
Blake enjoys being active, swimming, traveling, and is an avid car enthusiast and driver. In 2016, he raced a late model race car in a charity event at Irwindale Speedway. He also travels to France when possible to maintain his French proficiency and loves all things French. Blake's older only sibling, Zack, is an aeronautical engineer.
