Born in Abington Township, Pennsylvania, Mike Vogel discovered the actor within during his college days at Cairn University. He started attending auditions for roles and modelling opportunities from the early 2000s. The handsome young man got his first breakthrough with a commercial for Levi’s. He also landed a recurring role on the television series ‘Grounded for Life’ in 2001 and played his character until he left the show in 2004. His debut feature film ‘Grind’ hit theaters in August 2003. A television remake of ‘Wuthering Heights’ for MTV, in which he played Heath, followed. Vogel struck gold with the reboot of ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ directed by Marcus Nispel. The actor played the character Andy in the slasher ultimatum alongside Jessica Biel, Jonathan Tucker, Erica Leerhsen, Eric Balfour, and R. Lee Ermey. The movie went on to become Vogel’s first blockbuster feat.
Vogel emerged as a significant player among the new generation actors in 2005 with four back-to-back films that include ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,’ ‘Supercross,’ ‘Havoc’ alongside Anne Hathaway, and ‘Rumor Has It…,’ starring Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner. In 2006, two irresistible offers came side-by-side in search of the actor. He was offered the role of Angel in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand.’ The apocalypse flick ‘Poseidon,’ which was a remake of the 1972 film ‘The Poseidon Adventure,’ also tagged him as the character Christian, fiance of Emmy Rossum’s character Jennifer. Vogel picked up ‘Poseidon’ out of the two projects and the movie went on to become a global. His other major credits include ‘Caffeine,’ ‘Open Graves,’ ‘The Deaths of Ian Stone,’ ‘Across the Hall,’ ‘She’s Out of My League,’ ‘Blue Valentine,’ ‘ Miami Medical,’ and ‘Heaven’s Rain.’
The 2011 comedy film ‘What’s Your Number?’ catapulted his image as a solidly built a tough guy who can afford a cool and hilarious performance. He played the character of Johnny Foote in the movie adaptation of ‘The Help.’ In 2013, he teamed up with Howard Goldberg for the comedy ‘Jake Squared,’ alongside Elias Koteas, Virginia Madsen and Jane Seymour. Projects like ‘McCanick’ and ‘Bates Motel’ followed. His big breakthrough came with the CBS sci-fi drama series ‘Under the Dome,’ in which Vogel played the character of Dale “Barbie” Barbara. Based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Stephen King, the series ran for three successful seasons before wrapped up in September 2015.
Barbie, who appeared as a former U.S. Special Forces Operative in ‘Under the Dome,’ earned Vogel widespread popularity and stardom. He described the experience of playing Barbie as “working on a guy who’s close to my heart and I know very well.” The role was also a dream come true for Vogel who once wanted to join the air force academy to become a war pilot. “I did this show having a lot of friends and family in the military and wanted to do this guy justice,” he added. Enthralled by the scope and reach of the role, he did most of the high-octane action sequences without a stunt double. The success of the series helped the actor to grab more roles in major productions like the thriller ‘The Boy,’ ‘In My Dreams,’ the miniseries ‘Childhood’s End’ based on an Arthur C. Clarke novel, and ‘The Case for Christ.’
Vogel met with his second career breakthrough in 2017 when he was cast in the NBC series ‘The Brave.’ He garnered critical acclaim and audience praise for the portrayal of the character Capt.
