Nigel Patrick Miguel (born April 8, 1963) is a Belizean-American actor, film producer, and technical advisor who is currently the film commissioner for Belize. He is also a former professional basketball player. A native of Belize, he immigrated to the United States when he was six, and holds dual citizenship with both countries.
Miguel played college basketball for the UCLA Bruins, earning all-conference honors in the Pacific-10 (currently known as the Pac-12). He played one season professionally in the Continental Basketball Association (CBA). Using his athletic skills and basketball talents, he later landed acting and advisor roles in commercials, movies, and television. In 1994, Miguel was appointed by Belize as goodwill ambassador to the United States, and the government named him its film commissioner in 2008. Miguel has also owned production company II Jam Casting & Production since 1995.
Miguel was born in British Honduras, now known as Belize, and grew up in Belize City. His formative years were spent in Southern California, after his family left Belize when he was six. They settled in Los Angeles, and moved to Pacoima when he was 13. He played basketball at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. As a 6-foot-6-inch (1.98 m) senior forward in 1981, he led his team to a 19-5 overall record and the Del Rey League championship. Miguel averaged 23.1 points and 10.0 rebounds and was named to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) 4A first-team. He also earned McDonald's All-American honors.
