Michael Austin Cera, was born on the 7th of June 1988 in Ontario Canada. His father was a Scillian, and an employee of the Xerox company. He has two sisters. He first appeared in a Summer Camp commercial for Tim Horton. He played the young Chuck Barris in “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind†in 2002 and also did the voice of Brother Bear in the animated series The Bernstein Bears. His interest in the internet drew him to produce short videos which he and a friend worked on together and posted on YouTube. This in turn got the attention of CBS Broadcasting who signed a contract with them to write, direct and produce a series of short films they intended to use as promotional videos in their new InnerTube.com site which they hope would become a challenger for Youtube. He has appeared in a total of 6 films since 2000, with 2 slated for 2008 and 2 again for 2009.
