Mike Damus
A New York native with a penchant for playing irreverent and assured smart aleck types, dark-haired and lanky actor Mike Damus made his professional debut on Broadway in 1991 as understudy to Danny Gerard in the role of Arty, the younger of two brothers sent to live with their austere grandmother, in Neil Simon's award-winning "Lost in Yonkers." The following year the young performer landed the role of Arty in the film adaptation, receiving good notices for his engaging portrayal of the laid-back younger brother of the narrator. Damus followed up in 1994 with a featured role in the summer camp-set children's comedy "A Pig's Tale" (a 1996 direct-to-video US release). In 1996, he debuted as a series regular on the failed CBS sitcom "My Guys."
