Michael Wesley-Smith
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Thomas Wesley-Smith (born December 2, 1983) is a New Zealand television actor. He is best known for his portrayal of the snarky, loveable nerd Jack in the teen sci-fi TV show The Tribe.
Michael, often called Mikey by friends and fans, started his career with dubbing animated films, acting on stage in productions such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Hercules and starring in info-videos. In 1997, he landed a guest role on the TV series Legend of William Tell. The production company of the show, Cloud 9, then asked him to audition for their new series, The Tribe. He won the part of Jack, and played him in all five seasons from 1998 to 2003. Throughout filming, he also occupied the lead role of the wacky teen comedy Atlantis High as Giles Gordon, and had to take several absences from The Tribe. His character Jack was therefore absent during long portions of the third and fourth seasons of the show. Mikey played the guest part of Craig in an episode of The Strip in 2002. He has also worked on numerous radio shows throughout his career.
Michael initially intended to become a doctor like his parents, but abandoned his Medicine studies and is now studying for a double degree in Law and Chemistry.
