Biography
A multi-hyphenate in the truest sense of the term, Mike Binder is achieving the goals he set out for himself. With HBO's highly anticipated "THE MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN" on the horizon, Binder has created a show that will push buttons, provoke thought, and, most importantly, make people laugh. As the series creator, star, writer, producer and one of several directors, to say that "THE MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN" is near and dear to Binder would be an understatement. Set in a Chicago newspaper, the show takes an honest look at love, life and sex in a modern marriage from the husband's point of view. Binder began his career as a stand-up comedian. This path eventually led to his own HBO "One Night Stand" special, HBO's "Detroit Comedy Jam" (Binder's a Detroit native) and "The Eleventh Anniversary of the Comedy Store" special with Robin Williams, Richard Pryor and Jim Carrey. His years of stand-up also yielded a secondary benefit: developing a point of view as a writer. His first screenplay, "Coupe de Ville" caught the attention of director Joe Roth who helmed the film for Universal which soon led to another feature, "Crossing The Bridge" which marked Binder's directorial debut. From there, he wrote and directed the poignant "Indian Summer" for Touchstone Pictures. Most recently, Binder wrote, directed and starred in the upcoming feature "The Search for John Gissing" with Alan Rickman and Janeane Garofalo. He also wrote, directed and starred in both "Londinium" which also stars Stephen Fry and Colin Firth and "The Sex Monster" for which Binder received both the Best Film and Actor nods from the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. In addition, Binder starred in last year's controversial film "The Contender" with Joan Allen, Jeff Bridges and Gary Oldman. Binder recently wrapped a co-starring role in Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report" opposite Tom Cruise, which will be released next year.
