Michael Cimino Talks ‘Motorheads,’ ‘Love...

Sangasong, LLC
About this episode

It’d be easy to assume Michael Cimino was an overnight success — he’s been everywhere the past five years. First as the titular character in coming of age (and coming out) series Love, Victor, then as the (not-so-bright) bad boy Ethan Morales in Never Have I Ever, and now he stars in Prime Video’s Motorheads, playing Zac Torres. The series follows Zac and his twin Caitlyn as they move to the small town where their parents first met. Here they navigate new relationships, rivalries, their father's mysterious past, while falling in with a crew of high school outsiders who bond over street racing.


In fact it took the 25-year-old, Las Vegas-born actor 10 years from starting acting classes till he booked his first job, but he kept grinding, finally snagging a role in 2017 horror movie Annabelle, which changed his life.


Cimino joins us in the studio for the first time to discuss Motorheads and his own car collection, we go deep on his formative acting roles, his nascent music career, and the female pop stars he thinks are killing it in the game.


Plus he tells us about the great advice he got from Rebel Wilson, his workout regimen, getting bit in the face by a dog, what it’s like playing a heatthrob, his gritty upcoming film Street Smart directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight), and that one time he got punched in the face and mugged in London.
