Michael Mando
Early life
In his mid-20s, he suffered a knee injury and consequently decided to change paths. He was enrolled in many fields, including international relations at the University of Montreal before discovering the performing arts at the Dome Theatre Program at Dawson College in 2004. Despite no training he went on to play the male lead in all five productions of the program. He graduated in 2007. His Dome credits include Orlando in Shakespeare's As You Like It, Professor Katz in David Edgar)'s Pentecost, and Valentine Xavier in Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending. Steven W. Lecky, the chair of the program, called Mando "one of the finest talents to emerge from the program in the past 25 years".
Career
After playing the leading character in two award-winning professional theatre productions in Montreal, Mando founded Red Barlo Productions. The company's first film, Conditional Affection (which Mando starred in, directed and wrote) was released in 2010 and officially selected to Fantasia, Bare Bones, ACTRA Short Films, and the New Hope International Film Festivals.
