MIKE BURSTYN
(Father)
Born in New York to a famed family of actors, Mike first walked out on stage at the age
of three, stole the show from his father and hasn’t looked back since. He has enjoyed
a unique international career entertaining audiences on stage, screen and television, in
nightclubs and on concert stages throughout the world.
Mike just starred in the world premiere in Los Angeles of “Jolson at the Winter
Garden” the new musical he co-created and wrote. His recent credits include rave
reviews starring in the National Yiddish Theatre – Folksbiene’s hit “The Adventures
of Hershele Ostropolyer;” a sold out Yiddish concert tour of Israel; a 2nd Outer Critics
Circle Award nomination starring Off-Broadway and in Los Angeles as Meyer Lansky
in "Lansky;" a 2nd Drama Desk Award nomination and rave reviews in New York for
his performance in "On 2nd Avenue;" co-starring with Valerie Harper in the National
tour of "The Tale Of The Allergist's Wife” and starring in the national tour, as Al
Jolson in the musical "Jolson." He won his 1st Outer Critics Circle Award nomination
starring as Mike Todd in the Broadway musical "Ain’t Broadway Grand" and his 1st
Drama Desk Award nomination for his portrayal of Mayer Rothschild in the critically
acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of "The Rothschilds." Mike starred on Broadway as
P.T. Barnum in the Tony Award winning musical "Barnum" (a role he recreated in the
Dutch language production in The Netherlands). Other Broadway credits include "The
Megilla" and "Inquest," in which he was hissed and booed eight times a week as Roy
Cohn.
Off-Broadway Mike acted as host-narrator for the 92nd Street Y’s famous "Lyrics &
Lyricists" series, inaugurated City Center’s popular Encores series in "Fiorello" and
starred in "The Fishkin Touch," in Murray Schisgal’s "Circus Life" and in the revival of
Neil Simon’s "The Prisoner of Second Avenue."
His regional credits include acclaimed portrayals of Tevye in "Fiddler On The Roof";
as Nathan Detroit in "Guys & Dolls" with Vic Damone; "1040," a new musical by
Jerry Bock ("Fiddler On The Roof") and Jerry Sterner ("Other People’s Money") at
the University of Houston; as Kurt Weill in "Berlin To Broadway" at the Coconut
Grove Playhouse (Carbonell Award Nomination); "Hatikva," his tribute to Israel’s 50th
Anniversary and the national tour of the Broadway musical "Those Were The Days."
U.S. TV appearances include "As The World Turns," "The Cosby Mysteries," "Law &
Order" and HBO’s "Dog Watch" with Sam Elliot and Paul Sorvino.
Overseas, Mike has been one of Israel’s all-time popular stars since settling there with his
parents and twin sister, Susan, in 1962. He is the winner of two Israeli "Oscars" for his
screen portrayal of Kuni Leml, a kind of Israeli Forrest Gump. The Israel Cinematheque
saluted his achievements in the Israeli film industry by honoring him at a special
ceremony in 1997. Over the past decades he has had several successful television shows
and been a recording artist for CBS Israel.
From 1978 to 1981, Mike hosted and starred in his own TV variety show in
Holland. "The Mike Burstyn Show" was rated among the ten most popular shows in
The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Among the many guest artists to make
their Dutch television debuts on the show were Mike’s friends Ben Vereen and Chita
Rivera. Since then he has divided his time between the US, Holland and Israel. Among
his other numerous achievements: Mike had the honor of performing before President
Reagan, Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, and the Presidents and Prime Ministers of
Israel; starred in a Royal Variety Show at London’s famed Paladium; and as a soldier
in the Israel Defense Forces entertained the troops both in peacetime and during three
wars, hosting and performing with Danny Kaye on his month-long tour of army bases
and hospitals following the Six Day War. He is fluent in and has performed in eight
languages.
His father, Pesach, was one of the great stars of the Yiddish theatre. His
biography, "What a Life," has been published by Syracuse University Press. His mother,
Lillian Lux, partnered her late husband on and off stage for nearly 50 years. Mike
recently brought her to Israel where they marked what would have been his father’s
100th birthday by mounting one of his legendary musicals, with Mike playing his father’s
original role. "The Komediant," a documentary about Mike and his family, won the
Israeli Oscar and is available on DVD and video.
Mike has been honored through the years with numerous artistic, cultural and
humanitarian awards. He is an honorary board member of Gilda's Club, a Regent of the
American Friends of the Hebrew University, President of American Friends of Yedidim,
President of the Hebrew Actors Union and served as Honorary President of the Cystic
Fibrosis Foundation of Israel.
Mike is blessed with a beautiful angel of a wife, two incomparable sons, a gorgeous
daughter-in-law and three brilliant grandchildren.
