Mijail Mulkay is a Cuban actor known for his work in theater, film, and television, and he is the son of the renowned Cuban actor Iván Mulkay. Mijail was born in Havana, Cuba, on April 20, 1974. He graduated as an actor and theater director from the Higher Institute of Art.

Mulkay has been a part of important Cuban theater companies such as Teatro Estudio, Grupo Irrumpe, and El Público. However, it is in film and television where his popularity has grown within the island, having participated in several Cuban soap operas and movies. Among these are "Entre mamparas" (1996), "Tierra brava" (1997), which earned him the Best Supporting Actor in Television award from UNEAC, and "Si me pudieras querer" (1999), which showcase Mulkay's work during his time as an actor in Cuba.

In cinema, Cubans remember him in titles such as Aunque estés lejos (2003), Entre ciclones (2003), Hacerse el sueco (2001), Miradas (2001), Lista de espera, and Perfecto amor equivocado, among others.

In 1995, he married the Cuban actress Jacqueline Arenal, from whom he separated 10 years later, and with whom he has a daughter, Camila Bordon Arenal.

It was precisely due to a role that his then-wife secured in Colombia to work in the telenovela Los Reyes in 2005 that he settled in the South American country, where he continued his meteoric rise as an actor, appearing in around thirty television programs including telenovelas, series, and miniseries. He has also participated in several feature films.

In 2005, he married a renowned Colombian writer and actress, Alina Lozano, with whom he had his second child Samuel Bordón Lozano. 

The actor currently resides in Miami with his wife, Olga Thomas, a Cuban-American singer who performs in various Hispanic television shows produced in Miami.
