Miguel Cervantes

Miguel Cervantes is the actor who brought Alexander Hamilton to life for over 2,000 performances — first in the Chicago production of Hamilton from 2016 to 2020, then on Broadway through 2024, handpicked for the role by creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. A singer, actor, and public speaker, Miguel's Broadway credits also include American Idiot and If/Then. Off stage, he is a passionate advocate for epilepsy awareness through CURE Epilepsy and created the My Shot at Epilepsy Challenge in memory of his daughter Adelaide. This black-and-white celebrity portrait by Michael Schacht — vest, rolled sleeves, and an easy warmth — captures the same magnetic approachability that made Miguel a Chicago theater icon and a sought-after keynote speaker on resilience, purpose, and storytelling.
