BIO:
A multi-hyphenate in the truest sense of the term, Mike Binder is achieving the goals he set out for himself. With HBO's critically acclaimed hit series, THE MIND OF THE MARRIED MAN, Binder has created a show that will continue to push buttons, provoke thought, and, most important, make people laugh.
As 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 and 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" 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 feature The Search for John Gissing with Alan Rickman and Janeane Garofalo. He also wrote, directed and starred in both Londinium, which 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 appeared in a co-starring role in Steven Spielberg's futuristic thriller, Minority Report opposite Tom Cruise.
