ABOUT MIKE BETANCOURT

After serving aboard the U.S.S Theodore Roosevelt during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, Mike Betancourt transitioned from launching jets to launching a comedy career.

Betancourt also achieved recognition as Best Supporting Actor in a short film 'Love Rules,' and produced 'Evelyn,' an audience favorite at Life Fest Film Festival. Highlighting his diverse experiences, he recounts his memorable participation in Wrestlemania 31 as one of Bray Wyatt’s scarecrows and a Russian soldier for Rusev.
