Michael Evans Behling was born on March 5, 1996, in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in Columbus, Indiana. He was adopted by Mike and Carol Behling and grew up in a family with three siblings. Behling participated in various sports from a young age, including baseball, soccer, and volleyball. He attended Columbus North High School, where he played football for two years and ran track. His interest in acting began in high school, inspired by Heath Ledger’s performance in ‘The Dark Knight.’ After graduating in 2015, Behling continued his track career at Indiana State University as a pre-med student, competing in the 400-meter hurdles. His athletic pursuits were halted after suffering two foot breaks requiring surgery. He subsequently left Indiana State University to pursue a career in entertainment.
Behling initially entered the entertainment industry through modeling, securing numerous advertising campaigns for brands such as Adidas and White Castle. This led to his acting debut in 2017 with a role as “Handsome Dude” on the television series ‘Empire.’ In March 2018, Behling was cast in his breakout role as Jordan Baker in The CW’s ‘All American.’ To pursue this opportunity, he moved to Los Angeles in January 2018. He identifies closely with his character, Jordan Baker, due to their shared biracial identity and experiences with self-discovery. His career has also expanded into producing, notably as an executive producer for the 2025 short film ‘Vipers.’
Beyond acting, Michael Evans Behling is also an entrepreneur, co-founding the clothing line DesignedAt5AM with three high school friends: Nicholas Stevens, Drew Thompson, and Floyd Athaide. The brand’s philosophy reflects his personal commitment to starting the day early to achieve goals, drawing inspiration from his friends’ early morning swim practices during their high school years. Behling is also known for advocating for animal rights and mental health awareness. His filmography includes roles in ‘A Cinderella Story: Starstruck’ (2021), ‘The Manny’ (2022), and guest appearances in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (2019) and ‘All American: Homecoming’ (2022).
