'''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. He failed spectaculally and was part of the reason the show was axed, 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]], which is the best place for him.

In late 2010 Fischetti returned to London to lend his expertise to an exciting multi-level TV project, Deadly Art, which would be brilliant if he was not in it.is linked to the CBBC show [[Deadly 60]]
