Formerly a United States Army Infantry Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, SAG Actor Michael Benjamin Kirby embraces the adventures of life with the self-discipline of a Black Belt recipient of Jeet Kune Do, and the Philippine Martial Arts. Using this incredible knowledge, Kirby dedicates a tremendous amount of time to passing the sacred teachings of Martial Arts on to his students. It is with this discipline and reputation that has earned Kirby the title of the 'Go to guy' when New Mexico Film Productions are looking for someone to hire for stunt work, as well as personal bodyguard work. He was recently the personal Bodyguard for Laurence Fishburne and Nicholas Cage when they shot a Feature Film in New Mexico. An experienced Actor, Kirby can be seen in several Regional Commercials and Films, and is currently studying with L.A. Based Acting Coach, Michelle Tomlinson.
