Seth Michaels
Seth Michaels is a versatile American-Italian actor and producer who has spent over 25 years in the entertainment industry. Born and raised in a multicultural environment, he holds dual citizenship, speaks four languages, and has traveled extensively, which often influences the diverse range of characters he portrays. After spending 17 years in Los Angeles, Michaels relocated to Atlanta, where he became a key figure in the region's booming film industry. He is the co-founder and owner of Benacus Entertainment alongside his business and producing partner, Sara Sometti Michaels. Together, they have produced over 20 feature films and television projects, establishing themselves as prolific independent creators. Michaels' acting career includes a mix of high-profile blockbusters and character-driven television roles. He is perhaps most recognizable to global audiences for his role as the Souvenir Stand Owner in the Netflix record-breaker Red Notice (2021), where he shared a memorable comedic scene with Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson. His television credits are equally notable, including a recurring role as Emilio Cuervo in the DC series Doom Patrol, as well as appearances in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Nip/Tuck, and American Soul. As a producer, he has been behind several acclaimed independent films, such as the horror-thriller St. Agatha (2018), the Emile Hirsch-led thriller Walden (2023), and the 2024 poker thriller Dead Money. By late 2025, Michaels continues to expand his slate with multiple projects in development, further solidifying his reputation as a "power player" in both the acting and production spheres.
