Miguel Nunez was born in New York City on August 12, 1964 and was one of nine children. He went to high school in Wilson, California and then moved to LA to pursue an acting career.
During his first five years there, he wasn’t so lucky; he had never landed in any acting gig nor got in any auditions. In fact, he was actually forced to make money some other way.
Things started looking up in the 80’s as he started to play guest roles in series like Automan, The Twilight Zone and Amen . From there, he has continued to play nameless characters like the ‘Squad Member #4’ in Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) and ‘Man with Broken Nose’ in Harlem Nights . By the mid 90’s however, was when he started to play supporting cast characters such as Dee Jay in Street Fighter and Bugs in Hard Vice (both in 1994).
His first acting role was in the comedy What's Happening , which he got after he met actor Ernest Thomas.Then his career started to go up over the years with appearances in many movies including the starring role in the 2002 Warner Brothers movie Juwanna Mann . His television credits include the co-starring role of Detective Sam Sullivan in the TV series Tarzan as well as guest roles in shows including
Bernie Mac , My Wife & Kids and Boomtown . Miguel has also served as co-writer and co-producer in the 1996 film Homeboys in Outer Space .
Miguel is married, the father of two daughters and is very active in a Los Angeles community helping the homeless at the Union Rescue Mission through his "Sparks Hope for the Holidays Program."
His most recent work has been with the stage play Eric Jerome Dickey's Friends & Lovers touring the US in 2004-2005.
