From performing on stages across the country, to starring in some of television's most exciting sitcoms, and creating, writing, and producing award-winning digital content, multihyphenate actor, comedian, writer, and director Mike Cabellon is quickly cementing his name as one to watch in Hollywood.

This spring, Cabellon can be seen reprising his fan-favorite role as Chief Strategist Tommy Tomás in season two of NBC's hit comedy series, "Mr. Mayor," opposite Ted Danson and Holly Hunter. Created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, "Mr. Mayor" follows a retired businessman (Danson) who runs for mayor of Los Angeles to prove he's "still got it." Once he wins, he must figure out what he stands for, gain the respect of his biggest critic (Hunter) and connect with his teenage daughter, all while trying to get anything right for America's second-weirdest city. Season two of "Mr. Mayor" premieres on NBC on March 15, 2022. Additional acting credits for Cabellon include Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black," the HBO dramedies "High Maintenance," and "Crashing," as well as guest appearances in NBC's "New Amsterdam" and Netflix's "Luke Cage."

Cabellon is also an active performer, director, producer, and writer for the award-winning Story Pirates, a nationally renowned group of top comedians, musicians, best-selling authors, and incredible teachers who create exciting content that celebrates the imaginations of children. Their marquee program, the "Story Pirates Podcast" has been downloaded over 35 million times and consistently ranks in the top three for kids and family audio programming in the world, having won multiple iHeartRadio Podcast Awards, a 2020 Webby Award, and featured special guests such as Billy Eichner, Bowen Yang, Dax Shepard, John Oliver, and Lin-Manuel Miranda, to name a few. The Pirates have also released three critically acclaimed books, several award-winning albums, and offer live-streamed classes, a weekend radio show, and a plethora of videos and entertainment to encourage creativity for kids at home.

On the comedy front, Cabellon and his sketch team GEIL have appeared on FunnyOrDie and Adult Swim, having created countless sketches and two acclaimed web series: "Early to Rise" (2020) and "Night Crew" (2018). "Early to Rise" was a 2021 Slamdance selection and won the Audience Award at the 2020 SeriesFest. "Night Crew" premiered on Comedy Central's digital channels after becoming an official selection for the New York Television Festival, where they landed a development deal with Comedy Central. Cabellon has performed on stages all over the country, including the Del Close Marathon, Comedy Hack Day, Austin Sketch Fest, Frigid Fest (part of the U.S. Association of Fringe Festivals), UCB's 3x3 Tournament, NYC Improv Festival, and a paid corporate improv show on the Las Vegas strip when he was 16.

A proud first-generation Filipino American, Cabellon was born in the Bay Area of California and raised in Las Vegas, NV. He discovered his love of comedy at a young age, staying up late at night to catch "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and stand-up specials on Comedy Central. Cabellon attended a magnet high school, where he was able to major in TV production, and he learned how to produce, direct, shoot and edit for film and tv when he was just a teenager. At the same time, Cabellon took his comedic passions to the stage, and began practicing improv with a local troupe every week until he graduated high school. Cabellon went on to attend Loyola University Chicago, where he studied Advertising and Public Relations, while also producing and starring in multiple student films. Upon graduation, Cabellon moved to New York, NY, where he turned his focus to his acting and writing work, studying improv and sketch comedy with the prestigious Upright Citizens Brigade and creating various sketches, digital series, and even booking a few commercials and smaller roles in television shows. Cabellon's time performing in New York included five straight seasons with the BoogieManja sketch program, putting up a new sketch show every single month at the PIT Theater. Cabellon moved to Los Angeles in 2019 to pursue his career in Hollywood full force and booked "Mr. Mayor" that same year.

Cabellon's last name rhymes with Babylon, grab a swan, crab 'n' prawn, slab of flan, drab chiffon or lab/salon, and he is currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
