. Based on his masterful control onscreen, you'd never guess the star has Tourette syndrome and contends with a range of physical and vocal tics.
A national ambassador for the Tourette Association of America, Mihok shared his experience as an actor in 2014."There's no pity party here—it made me who I am today—and I'm happy to educate anybody who wants to know because it's a very misunderstood syndrome," the actor said on, adding that"a little education breeds acceptance, and I think we could all use a little bit of that."
Mihok describes his tics as"the greatest itch you've ever had, times 5,000" and says that while he works hard to control them in professional settings, he is comfortable with them off-screen. The actor hopes his own success will encourage others with Tourette syndrome to pursue their dreams."When I'm acting I never tic when they say 'action' to 'cut.
