About Michael Irby

Michael Irby is back stealing scenes as he returns on HBO’s Emmy winning series, Barry as the hilarious and intriguing Cristobal Sifuentes. This comedic and colorful role is a huge diversion from his starring role as the leader of the Mayan’s in Kurt Sutter’s  Mayans MC for FX which returns to FX this Fall.

Irby is Obispo “Bishop” Losa, resident of Mayans MC’s Santo Padre Charter. From a broken home in the Salton Sea, he was taken in by the family of his cousin, Marcus Alvarez (Emilio Rivera), Mayan MC founder and National President. After a tour of duty in Iraq and one in Pelican Bay, Bishop was sent by Alvarez to set up and run the critical Mexi-Cali border charter. He is as deadly as he is loyal.

In addition to his starring role on Seal Team and The Unit, Irby’s television credits include Taken, True Detective, Almost Human, Line of Fire and The Haunted. Feature credits include Pinero, Flightplan and Fast Five.
