Michael Trucco (born Edward Michael Trucco on June 22, 1970) is a native of San Mateo, California. He attended Junipero Serra High School, and is the son of a police officer. He was interested in being a cop himself, until his college days, when he was attracted to theatrical performance. He took a theatre course for non-majors while he was studying Criminal Justice, but did so well that he was asked to consider changing majors. He changed majors and completed his BA in Theatre Arts at the University of Santa Clara.

Trucco became active in television in the late 1990's with appearances in episodes of popular series including Touched by An Angel, Silk Stalkings, Beverly Hills: 90210, Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, and Pensacola: Wings of Gold among others. He continued appearing in shows of similar genres like CSI, Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled, Heartbeart, Strong Medicine, CSI: Miami, and others into the 2000's. His latest TV efforts consist of several episodes as "Cooper Lee" in One Tree Hill, and of course his current role as Samuel Anders on Battlestar Galactica (2003).

He is also the lead guitarist of the band "Simpleworld".
