'''Mike Fischetti''' (b. 6 August 1983 in [[Destin, Florida]]) is a presenter on the children's television show [[SMart]], which aired on [[CBBC]].

==Career==
In May 2003, he graduated from [[Georgia Institute of Technology]], [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] with a [[Bachelor of Science]] in [[Industrial Design]] and quickly put his talents to use as a props and [[set designer]] for theatre and TV. He moved to the UK where, between 2005 and 2007, he worked behind the scenes on [[BBC]] Children's programmes such as [[Xchange]], [[Tops of the Pops Reloaded]], [[Mighty Truck of Stuff]], [[Level Up]] and [[TMi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blackburnsachsassociates.com/profile.asp?ClientID=242|title=Mike Fischetti|accessdate=2009-10-11}}</ref>.

When the SMart team were looking for someone to present a feature based around America, Fischetti seemed the obvious choice. His role on the show grew into a regular feature in which he was presented with challenges to create works of art in a short time frame. Having quickly built up a good on-screen rapport with [[Kirsten O'Brien]] and [[Mark Speight]], he was asked to take over the main co-presenter's role following the death of Speight in 2008, fronting the new series with O'Brien. From December 2009 to January 2010 he appeared in the pantomime [[Jack and the Beanstalk]] at the [[Malvern_  Theatres|Malvern Theatre]], alongside [[Colin Baker]] and [[Sarah Thomas]].

In late 2010 Fischetti returned to London to lend his expertise to an exciting multi-level TV project, Deadly Art, which is linked to the CBBC show [[Deadly 60]]
