Who Played Mike in A View From the Bridge

Mike is a role in A View From the Bridge, a play that opened Off-Broadway in 1965.

Set in 1950s Brooklyn, longshoreman Eddie Carbone harbors a subconscious and jealous affection for his niece, Catherine, whom he is raising with his wife. When distant cousins arrive from Italy and one of them falls for Catherine, Eddie takes drastic measures to protect his fragile American Dream. Deeply relevant, A View From The Bridge wrestles with truths about family, the complexities of how we assimilate and, ultimately, how we view ourselves as Americans. "A View from the Bridge" by Arthur Miller has earned significant recognition over its history on stage, highlighted by numerous awards across various productions. The 1997 New York revival was particularly successful, winning the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, with leading actor Anthony LaPaglia receiving the Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Play. This production also garnered Drama Desk Awards for Outstanding Revival, Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play (Allison Janney), and Outstanding Direction of a Play. Scarlett Johansson won a Tony Award for her performance in the 2009 Broadway revival at the Cort Theatre, directed by Gregory Mosher. The revival was praised for its limited 14-week engagement which started with previews in late December 2009 and officially opened in January 2010. The production that began at the Young Vic Theatre in London in 2014 before transferring to Broadway was recognized with the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, while its director, Ivo van Hove, won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Play. In London, the same Young Vic production had previously won three Laurence Olivier Awards in April 2015 for Best Actor (Mark Strong), Best Revival, and Best Director (Ivo van Hove), showcasing its critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. These awards underscore the play's enduring impact and the excellence of its various productions over the years​​.
