Mike Ferguson

Actor & Stuntman

First and foremost Mike Ferguson, what do you do?

Primarily, I’m an actor and a stuntman with a love for horror movies, the color black and cats. I fuckin’ love cats, yo.

It seems like you always get typecast as the bad guy in any film project.

This might be true as fuck, but in real life I’m a goddamn teddy bear...but a scary teddy bear that will kill your whole family and a few neighbors. Of course, I can be totally chill too...with the times I like to bathe in my enemy’s blood. I have been acting in movies and television for about 4 years for what seems like BEYOND full time. I work a lot...but not always as a bad guy. (laughs) In fact, I was just featured on the newest video from the YouTube superstar, Collins Key, in a family friendly episode. Sp yeah, I’m usually cast as the antihero, like Ash Williams, Snake Pilskin or The Punisher, but I’d like to think I’m pretty versatile. Great for my career, not so much personal life .

We’ve heard you had some incredible success with hit show, Death Squad…

Absolutely. I was blessed to play Greg “the Champ “ Thompson on Death Squad for Popstar! TV. He’s a man on the downside of his prime but still willing to sacrifice for others.A great Anti Hero...killing zombies. The show was filmed in Armenia which was pretty.goddamn cool. While I was there, I hit the gym like a motherfucker to play an Army veteran and ex-MMA champion turned illegal fighter and mercenary for hire. I’m proud of that role, yo.

Favorite thing you’ve ever had to say in a film?

My favorite line of dialogue is a movie for Dustin Ferguson me and my roommate and fellow actor, ERIK RUSSO just filmed... “I’m your goddamn King.” featured in the horror film, Ebola Rex, out in September 2020.

Who do you surround yourself with in your life?

Man I have so many creative people in my life. I love watching Mike Markoff act. I’ve been blessed to work with him on Death Squad and a film we are about to finish with the amazing. Jamie Bernadette. And the insanely talented Betsy Sligh, the horror Western HOMESTEAD...

“In the film set in 1800s Oklahoma, Beth (Jamie Bernadette) flees from an abusive marriage with her twin children—Irene (Betsy Sligh), a loud-mouthed 12-year-old girl who has an uncanny knack for shooting guns, and Brian (Cavan Tonascia), a shy and awkward boy who can never seem to do anything right.

“Beth soon meets Robert, a charming man with dreams of living off the land. They marry and together, become homesteaders. They build a small cabin far off in the Western frontier away from civilization. Beth adjusts well to life on the prairie, and Robert quickly becomes a strong father figure for the children.

“When a gang of outlaws, each with their own uniquely twisted and terrifying personality, finds the family on their little homestead and terrorizes them, Beth starts to question Robert’s identity and his obscure past. Trapped on their homestead, outgunned and outnumbered, the family’s survival comes to rest in the hands of twelve-year-old, hot-tempered and hair-triggered Irene, who trusts few and shoots first.”

Favorite actor?

My absolute favorite actor is Robert LaSardo, an amazing actor covered in tattoos just like me. I’ve been Blessed to be Able to work with him many times...SILENCER (Danny Trejo ,Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Robert LaSardo, Johnny Meisner Big Jeff Hill) it was dope.

Ohhh, I can’t leave out my brother, my best goddamn friend my hetero life partner, The Italian Stallion... ERIK Goddamn Russo. He’s helped me step my life and acting game up...a talented actor and filmmaker. I’ve done film after film with him, for Dustin Ferguson.

Favorite movie?

My favorite movie of all time man is Escape from New York (Kurt Russell is the MAN ) and Evil Dead 2 ....You have two movies, SUE ME......all goes back to the Anti Hero ... Guy doesn’t wanna be the good guy but he has to...I can relate like a motherfucker.

Recent projects?

I just recently worked with Michael S. Rodriguez on Last American Horror Show Volume 2 .

I had an amazing role just sitting in my prison cell having a conversation with legend MEL NOVAK, horror and action legend....Stick from GAME OF DEATH, and I just wrapped Ebola Rex for Dustin Ferguson release in September.

“After your audition, I expanded your role because you fit the character so much that it’d be a waste to give you less screen time.“

Anything else?

Man, I kinda fulfilled a childhood dream ..I’m in a movie with Steven Segal and DMX...So dope and huge for me. I was so stoked and I worked again with Big Jeff Hill and Jonny Meisner on Beyond the Law on Demand now...and I got some more crazy stuff coming up but NDA’s yo…(laughs)!

And my slate is pretty full until the end of year.

Parting words?

Here’s a quote, “If you’re gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough , I’m tough as fuck.” Acting is tough, selfish and cruel...but I fucking love it, yo.
