Michelan Sisti (born May 27, 1949) is an actor, director, puppeteer, and musician who played Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.[1] He previously had an eighteen-year theatrical career including five Broadway shows. In 1987, Sisti understudied Joel Grey in a Broadway production of Cabaret, taking the unusual step, when Grey had lost his voice, of singing off-stage while Grey pretended to sing.[2]
Since TMNT, Sisti moved from New York City to Los Angeles and has continued to work with The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Studios, and many other movie and television productions. From September 8–10, 2017, he was an additional Muppet performer for a live show at the Hollywood Bowl titled The Muppets Take the Bowl and again, in London, for The Muppets Take the O2 show from July 13-14, 2018.
