It is not every day that we get to see the likes of Michael Berryman star in movies or television series, but when he does, the actor perfectly brings to life in a quintessential way, the best portrayal of his character which even the highest paid actors and actresses in the industry will flop at portraying. All these capabilities can be attributed to a rare physical health defect which he was born with but has turned around to suit roles in horror and villain movies in Hollywood.

Michael has, since his acting debut, gone ahead to feature in a lot of movies, bagged nomination for an award as well as winning one. Similarly, like every other celebrity, he has a life outside of what he does on films/movie sets, here, we are going to take a closer look at his life before fame and how he has risen so far over the years.

Michael Berryman’s Biography

On the 4th of September 1948, the actor was born and named Michael John Berryman in Los Angeles, California, U.S. but grew to be popularly known as Michael Berryman. At the time of his birth, life didn’t start with him like it started for most others born around that time. Michael was born with a rare condition known as hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which caused him to have a small head, no sweat glands, hairs, developmental issues with his fingernails and skin. Thus, he looked different from a whole lot of other people.

Nevertheless, the kid took life the way it presented itself to him and against all odds, he has turned around what would have been his limitation to his greatest strength.

Records of his childhood life have it that his father Sloan Berryman was a neurosurgeon stationed in Hiroshima by the U.S Navy in 1947. He got exposed to radiation and that probably caused his son to be born with birth/developmental defects a year later. Growing up, as you would imagine, the kid faced severe bullying from his peers which often time saw him calling at the houses of such kids to report them to their parents. He did this countless number of times but his heart was never broken with the challenges life threw at him.

Though we don’t have records of the educational institutions Michael Berryman passed through, we do know that he majored in Art History in college and began a career as a businessman prior to venturing into the world of acting.
