Mitchell Goosen at your service. I’m not from around here. What to tell. Don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. Don’t care. Just as long as I live near the beach and don’t have to wear a tie. Then I’ll be stylin’.
Mitchell Goosen – Airborne 1993
Actor, Artist, Dad & Realtor
Born and raised in Houston, Texas, I took a leap of faith at a young age and moved to New York City to chase my dream of becoming an actor. The city was more than just a backdrop—it was a teacher, opening my eyes to vibrant cultures, diverse lifestyles, and endless possibilities.
My career began in front of the camera as a Ford model, working with some of the most iconic brands in the industry, including Ralph Lauren, Izod Kids, and Patagonia. From there, my path naturally led to acting, where I found my stride bringing characters to life. I had the privilege of landing lead roles in beloved television series like Swan’s Crossing and the iconic soap opera All My Children.
In 1993, my big-screen breakout came with the cult classic Airborne, where I stepped into the skates of Mitchell Goosen—a laid-back California teen with a love for surfing and rollerblading. Sharing the screen with talents like Seth Green and Jack Black made the experience unforgettable and shaped the way I approach storytelling.

These early chapters of my life were marked by creativity, exploration, and a drive to make every moment count—a mindset I carry with me today in everything I do.

“Let me tell you what stylin’ is. The perfect session: A-Frame wave, ground swell, spittin’ out salt water in your face, doing a little lip action move, a 360 without a bounce. I call it a Liquid Drano Wannabe Bullwinkle. I tell you no lie, my friends. It’s a consciousness raiser.”
