Michael Joseph Cognata (born May 5, 1988) is an American actor[2] and record producer[3] from Boston, Massachusetts, best known for his roles as Julian Robbins on NBC's Chicago Fire and Tito, from Showtime's Shameless.[4][5]

Career

Cognata began exploring his interest for the stage in high school, as he attended Boston Arts Academy (2006) where he majored in Theatre.[6] In 2008, Cognata made his television debut with a national commercial for Subway and further honed his performative skills, professionally, with the poetic entertainment group called ARTiculation, which received critical acclaim across the New England area.[7] The Boston Herald writes in a 2009 article, "Give the creativity and enthusiasm of this highly talented group of young poets a chance. Their performance is good enough to make even a cynic believe in the power of art."[8] Michael then moved to New York City and Los Angeles to obtain notable television roles including Julian Robbins, brother-in-law to Battalion Chief Wallace Boden on NBC's Chicago Fire (2018), and recurred as the popular Tito, Lip's intern on Showtime's Shameless (2016).[9][10] He can also be seen during the holidays on Hallmark's Romance at Reindeer Lodge (2017).[11] In addition to his work in film and TV,[12] Cognata was honored to represent his hometown in the largest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (2006), where he was chosen to perform the play A More Perfect Union.[13] It was here where he made his theatrical debut on stages across Edinburgh, Scotland.[14]
