Michael Mackie is an Aries with a Pisces rising. (IYKYK.)
Growing up as a proud Midwesterner, he knew he always knew he wanted to be in TV.
Or on TV.
Or watching TV.
(He's not picky.)
Mackie garnered his degree in broadcasting from the University of Iowa to prove to the world he was not only educated, but well-versed in sitcoms, game shows, and all-things Oprah. With minors in French and acting, he ultimately hopes to write, produce, direct, and star in a straight-to-digital project in Quebec.
By complete accident and happenstance, Mackie began interviewing a litany of Emmy-, Academy-, and Grammy-award winners. What started as a hobby, quickly became his own unexpected claim to fame. His motto? “You name the celebrity and I’ve probably interviewed them. Twice.”
A prolific travel writer by trade, Mackie has been a member of the prestigious Society of American Travel Writers and even hosted a Midwest-based travel show, Get Lost!
"My parents never could comprehend how I earned my keep stringing words together for the universe to appreciate," he says. "Frankly, that makes three of us. But I feel like it’s what I was put on this earth to do. I was born to spend no more than five minutes in a room chatting up a celebrity and then somehow cobble brilliance together. Whether you read it or watch it—welp, that’s up to you."
