Miko Hughes

Miko John Hughes was born on February 22, 1986, in Apple Valley, California, the son of Mary Phelps and special‑effects technician John Hughes. He carries English and Chickasaw ancestry and grew up alongside three older half‑siblings—Mike, Mitch and Molly. Remarkably, Hughes stepped in front of the camera when he was just 22 months old, appearing in a public‑service announcement before making his feature‑film debut five months later. By the age of three, he was already one of Hollywood’s busiest child actors, securing roles in films such as Jack the Bear and the cult classic Pet Sematary (1989). Over the next decade he built an impressive résumé that included Kindergarten Cop (1990), Wes Craven’s New Nightmare (1994), the space‑drama Apollo 13 (1995), and the superhero noir Spawn (1997). On television, he became a familiar face as Aaron Bailey on Full House (1990‑1995) and made guest appearances on series like Baywatch, Beverly Hills, 90210, and The Nanny. Beyond live‑action work, Hughes explored voice‑over talent, earning an Emmy certificate for his portrayal of Tommy in the animated series Life with Louie (1995) and lending his voice to the twin babies Sly and Witt in Baby Geniuses (1999). *A modest musician, he released two self‑produced albums at age nine—Miko Hughes and Halloween Haunts—through his own label Little Chief Inc., writing all of the material himself. After a brief lull in the early 2000s, he returned to the screen as a teen‑aged antagonist in the sci‑fi series Roswell, and later ventured behind the camera, directing the “See” segment of the horror anthology Chilling Visions: 5 Senses of Fear (2013). Though his personal life remains private, he has been linked to actress Laryssa Farmiga since 2025. Today, Hughes continues to act, direct, and create music, confirming his status as a multifaceted entertainer who transitioned from child star to seasoned industry professional.
