Mikhail Pogul

Mikhail Pogul grew up in one of the oldest neighborhoods of Moscow, Russia. At an early age he was drawn to the theatre with passion. Starting with the Moscow Theatre of Drama and Comedy he played a wide range of roles in Pushkin, Chekhov, and Ray Bradbury's plays. After serving two years in the Russian Army he escaped to New York. With rather new energy Mikhail has hosted a cable tv show bringing together students from Russia and the USA. Recent roles include "The Mobster" in In the Parlance, (Lightning Strikes) and "The Fiancé" in Seeking Shelter (Actor's Stock). He is very excited to be a part of the Company and describes Lightning Strikes as "a perfect dramatic alliance, a smart and energetic group". He also plays piano, guitar, and sings whenever someone wants to listen.
