Michael Antonakos was born in the vibrant city of Athens, Greece, and at the tender age of three, he made the bold decision to relocate to Canada, a country that would soon become his new home.
As a child, Michael's passion for performing was evident, and he spent his youth honing his craft with the esteemed Rocky Mountain Shakespeare Company. This early exposure to the world of theatre laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
Upon completing his studies at the University of Victoria, Michael made the bold move to Vancouver, British Columbia, where he embarked on his on-camera career in film and television. His breakthrough role in the video game "Lord of the Rings: The Third Age" marked the beginning of his journey as a performance capture and animation actor.
Michael's unique physical and vocal abilities, which enabled him to transform into a wide range of characters and creatures, quickly made him a sought-after talent in the industry. Two decades later, he has established himself as a leading figure in the field, with notable roles in Warner Brothers' "Gotham Knights" as Batman and in Ubisoft's highly successful franchise game "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" as Alexios.
When he's not working on set, Michael dedicates his time to training the next generation of actors, while also cherishing his personal life as a devoted husband and father.
