Michael Smiley (born 1963) is a comedian and actor from Belfast.
Although he's acted in both comedic and dramatic roles, he's likely best known for his scene-stealing turn as mood-swinging bicycle courier 'Tyres' in Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's cult classic sitcom Spaced, and has collaborated with the two (in addition to Nick Frost) ever since.
