While attending UGA, Mikey auditioned for commercials and movies in between his studies. Through his Atlanta-based talent agent, The People Store, Mikey booked a minor role in the movie Black Knight.

Although the role was a small one, it helped jumpstart Mikey's career. After graduating college, Mikey moved to Hollywood, California. Mikey has since then appeared in various feature films and also played the role of Wicket for the Star Wars nationwide tour in 2006 and in the Rose Parade on New Year's Day 2007.
