Michael John Bergin, a renowned American model and actor, hails from Connecticut, specifically Waterbury, where he was born, and Naugatuck, where he spent his formative years.
As a native of the Constitution State, Bergin's striking physical attributes, including his impressive 6'1" frame and chiseled washboard abs, catapulted him to international fame through his print ads and, notably, a massive 96' x 70' billboard in the heart of New York City's Times Square.
Prior to his acting career, Bergin was best known for succeeding Mark Wahlberg as the face of Calvin Klein's provocative black and white underwear campaigns, which showcased his enviable physique to the world.
Bergin's remarkable modeling career earned him the distinction of being one of the first males to achieve supermodel status, a feat previously reserved for female icons such as Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell, and Iman.
Since stepping away from the spotlight, Bergin has pursued an unconventional acting career, marking a significant departure from his modeling roots.
