Of part-Mexican ancestry, Michael spent his early years in Montebello, but moved to Valencia, California later in life. He discovered he had a passion for acting rather early in his life, and to get a professional training, Michael enrolled at Playhouse West for theater studies.

His career started with a minor role in the TV series “Summerland”, and continued with one-time appearances in such series as “Charmed” and “Commander in Chief”, all in 2005. The following year he portrayed Jackson Meade in the television film “Cow Belles”, starring Aly Michalka, AJ Michalka and Jack Coleman, while in 2007 he secured his first recurring role, as Jaime Vega in the TV drama series “Cane”, and later the same year played Brent in several episodes of the TV comedy-drama series “The Riches”, starring Eddie Izzard, Minnie Driver and Shannon Woodward.

Michael came to prominence in 2009, when he was chosen for the role of Tyler Lockwood in the TV fantasy drama series “The Vampire Diaries”, and featured in over 140 episodes of the highly-acclaimed show, which increased his net worth to a large degree. Concurrently, Michael actively sought other acting engagements, and in 2012 featured in the crime-mystery thriller film “The Factory”, with John Cusack, Dallas Roberts and Vincent Messina in the lead roles, while he also appeared in the action film “Out of Control” in 2016.

Most recently, Trevino starred in the action crime-drama “Sunset Park” (2017), next to Robert Miano and Sam Douglas, and the same year made an appearance in the TV comedy series “Camp”, further increasing his net worth.

When it comes to his personal life, Michael was in a relationship with actress and singer Jenna Ushkowitz from 2011 until 2014. Since then, he has been linked romantically to actress Alexandra Chando, however, the couple hasn’t confirmed these rumors.

Quote
1 I’m a full-blooded Mexican. My mother was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and my father – the son of Mexican immigrants – was born near Fresno, California.
2 When our executive producer, Julie Plec, told me I was going to become a hybrid I got really excited. Because there’s a lot of responsibility that comes with that, especially in our world of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ where Tyler is the first successful hybrid that’s made.
3 I loved working on ‘90210,’ and I liked playing Ozzy because he was different from everybody else. And it was great because I got a great fan base.
4 I only eat candy on Halloween. No lie.
5 I’m a boxer-briefs guy.
6 I was brought up bilingual, but there came a point where my mom went back to work and I got a white babysitter, so sadly I lost it. Now I can understand Spanish and put words together, but I don’t speak it fluently. I’m ashamed of that.
7 I would love to dive into an indie film based on the streets of East Los Angeles where I grew up. If that doesn’t come my way soon, I think I just might have to write it myself.
