JUST MIKE IT.
Hi, I’m Mike Anderson — classically trained actor, award-winning screenwriter, and professional silly lil’ guy.
I’ve performed Shakespeare in tights, written thrillers and pirate cartoons, cackled in commercial campaigns, and taught kids how to sword fight with pool noodles.
I love to help students, storytellers, and fellow nerds tap into their creativity with joy, play, and just enough chaos.
🎭 Let’s work together — or just roll for initiative.
Mike it Like it’s Hot.
Mike Anderson is a comedic actor, screenwriter, teacher, dungeon master, and Midwestern export living in Los Angeles.
He holds a now well-aged piece of cardstock from one of the country’s top conservatories, where a dean once said his Iowa roots were “painfully obvious.” He’s since turned that awkwardness into a superpower, all while continuing to accept backhanded Hollywood sarcasm as probably sincere compliments.
He’s performed off-Broadway and at regional theaters across the country — from the Alabama Shakespeare Festival to New York Classical Theater — specializing in character-driven performances that blend heart, humor, and a hint of mayhem.

📨 “You’ve got Mike!”
There’s nothing I love more than making people laugh on camera — unless it’s sword fighting in a cape or crying in a Waffle House parking lot. But honestly, it brings me Turkish Delight to burgle TF out of the air in your lungs. Comedy is my joy, my weird therapy, and the most fun way I know to be real.

“Learn with Laughter”
Mike’s Philosophy:
Every student is different, every project is weird in its own way. My job is to make sure you feel safe to take creative risks, mess up gloriously, and grow fast.
Whether you’re learning Shakespeare or slaying dragons, I’ll bring the same joy, structure, and light-hearted irreverence I bring to everything else I do.
I’ve been teaching for 10+ years — acting, writing, improv, stage combat, voice work, musical theatre, and yes... Dungeons & Dragons.
From Broadway hopefuls to dice-rolling newbies, I’ve worked with students ages 6 to 60. My goal is to help you tap into your own voice, build confidence, and have fun doing it.
