Mike Cohen retired in the Philippines after serving 3.5 years in Viet Nam. He was an American expatriate actor living in the Philippines, who had supporting roles in a number of low-budget, Z-movie Filipino actioners from the late 70's to the 80's. He was a retired US Army officer (Lt.Colonel) who ran a mall in Manila and acted in films as a hobby. Cohen appeared in the midget-exploitation vehicle For Y'ur Height Only (1979) starring Weng Weng, in Intrusion Cambodia AKA Rescue Team (1981) (directed by John Gale (director) (Jun Gallardo) and starring Richard Harrison and a cast of Filipino exploitation veterans such as Mike Monty, James Gaines, Romano Kristoff and Ronnie Patterson, and other films of similar quality. A short, overweight, grey-haired and often goateed man, he was usually cast as military/government men and gangsters. Unlike many other expat actors working in low-quality films in the Philippines during the 80's such as Gaines or Kristoff, Cohen did not work almost exclusively for John Gale or Teddy Page (Teddy Chiu).
Mike Cohen (Myer Cohen) born January 16, 1917 and died in the Philippines on March 19, 1988. He was buried by his sister, Rosemarie Cohen Hess, and her husband, Joseph I. Hess, in Clark AFB cemetery.
