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

==Career==
IIn May 2003, he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, 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[1]. He moved to London where, between 2005 and 2007, he worked behind the scenes on [[BBC]] Children's programmes such as [[Xchange (TV series)|Xchange]], [[Top of the Pops Reloaded]], [[Mighty Truck of Stuff]], [[Level Up (UK TV series)|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 (actress)|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]]
