Mike Fischetti

Mike Fischetti (born 6 August 1983 in Destin, Florida) was a presenter on the children's television show SMart, which aired on CBBC.

Career

In May 2003, he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design and quickly put his talents to use as a props and set designer for theatre and TV. He moved to London, England, where, between 2005 and 2007, he worked behind the scenes on BBC Children's programmes such as Xchange, Top of the Pops Reloaded, Mighty Truck of Stuff, Level Up and TMi.

When the SMart team were looking for someone to present a feature based around America, Fischetti seemed the obvious choice. His role on the show grew into a regular feature in which he was presented with challenges to create works of art in a short time frame. Having quickly built up a good on-screen rapport with Kirsten O'Brien and Mark Speight, he was asked to take over the main co-presenter's role following the death of Speight in 2008, fronting the new series with O'Brien. From December 2009 to January 2010 he appeared in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at the Malvern Theatre, alongside Colin Baker and Sarah Thomas.

In 2011 Fischetti returned to London to lend his expertise to the multi-level TV project Deadly Art, which is linked to the CBBC show Deadly 60.
