Michael Alix Is an actor and improviser, born in Jersey City, NJ, weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces — and a proud April Aries (which he insists is very different from a March Aries). He attended St. Peter’s Prep, like the great Nathan Lane, before migrating south to Loyola University New Orleans, where he discovered his love for acting.Michael booked his first speaking role in the cult classic Pitch Perfect and, after many Mardi Gras seasons, headed west to California to continue his training at The Second City Conservatory.

Now based back on the East Coast, he expanded his improv career with Upright Citizens Brigade and has been steadily building momentum on screen. Recent credits include YOU (Netflix), Daredevil (Disney+), Hacks (HBO Max), and FBI (CBS)!Oh, and he shares life with his handsome 14-year-old, three-legged, all-white husky named Cobra.  I mean, like, really handsome.

Sarah Helbringer Raised in Buffalo, NY (go Bills!) and now calls NYC home, occasionally bouncing to LA or Atlanta when work (or weather) calls. She’s an actress, writer, singer, dancer, and model who thrives on emotionally rich, character-driven stories.

Sarah appears in The Six Triple Eight, directed by Tyler Perry, and recurs in the final season of YOU on Netflix, where she had the unique opportunity to double for Anna Camp across multiple episodes and also step into a fun speaking role as the podcast host in the final episode. Other credits include the indie gem I Love My Dad and several independent films currently in post-production.

Sarah is a graduate of Point Park University’s Musical Theatre program, where she trained in voice, dance, and acting. She’s also developing her first feature film as a screenwriter—a deeply personal project she’ll star in as well.

When she’s not working, she’s likely running (currently training for the NYC marathon), at the movies, or eating somewhere yummy with friends, she’s maybe at Central Park with a book and a bottle of wine.
