NIGEL MIGUELPresidentII Jam Casting & ProductionBelize Film
CommissionerContrary to belief, the number one export from Belize is not seafood, but
rather an ambassador of sorts in the way of one shy 6’5” gentleman, Nigel Miguel. Born
in Belize, it was Miguel’s father’s zest for education that brought the entire family to be
raised in Southern California. Athletically blessed, Miguel was a standout player at
Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks. He soon found himself on the McDonald’s
All-American Dream Team, which featured the top 20 high school basketball players in
the country. His classmates were Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, and Michael
Jordan.Following in his father’s footsteps, Miguel also attended UCLA when he was
offered a scholarship by then coach, Larry Brown. Continuing his love for basketball,
Miguel went on to become a star basketball player for the UCLA Bruins all four years in
college. While in school other interests would ensue and the likeable Miguel would
befriend a lot of students who were film majors. Film and entertainment intrigued Miguel
but he didn’t quite know then how it would become a part of his life.Meanwhile Miguel’s
mind was on playing professional basketball as coach David Wohl of the New Jersey
Nets, soon drafted him. Unfortunately, an inoperable heel injury sidelined Miguel early
on in his career, and although he couldn’t play basketball any longer, he met a
commercial casting agent who began to place him in front of a camera instead of in a
basketball arena. Says Miguel, “I stopped playing ball because I was injured, but
someone got me an agent at Commercials Unlimited, which at the time was one of the
top three agencies in the industry.” He continued, “I had somewhat of a following
through basketball and soon I was in the movies such as “Colors,” “White Men Can’t
Jump,” “Space Jam,” and “The Air Up There.” Miguel would also find himself becoming
Michael Jordan’s body double for seven years.Fast
