Early life
Miko John Huges was born the fourth child of Mary and John Huges. Due to his mother’s Native American ancestry, he was named with the Chickasaw word equivalent of “chief”. Her brothers are Mikhael and Mitchel, and her only sister is Molly.
There is no information about his early education, but it is possible that he was home-schooled, as he spent much of his childhood playing games.
Career
Start: Pet Sematary
Miko started her career at the very early age of 22 months in a public announcement.
However, it wasn’t until the age of three that he landed his first credited role as Gage Creed in the iconic 1989 film ‘Pet Sematary’, based on Stephen King’s novel of the same title – Gage, the youngest child in the Creed family, tragically dies after being hit by a truck. Her family, who had recently moved from Chicago to Ludlow, buried the deceased child in an Indian cemetery that was supposed to bring back the dead. When the child does indeed return from death, he does so in a very sinister way.
Miko’s performance as Gage was equally surprising and horrifying, and was the first role in what would become a very successful career as an actor. Not only was the film a box office hit, but it also became a cult film.
In 2015, he was asked if he expected the film to be so successful. He replied: “At the time, of course not. I don’t think I knew I was playing for Pet Sematary; I was just pretending. I was practically a baby. In 2019, exactly 30 years after the release of the original film, Paramount Pictures is releasing a re-imagining of the film, with a new cast and a modern setting.
Other projects
After his acting debut, Miko received many offers – he landed his first role in a series in “Babes”, followed by his cameo appearances in various series such as “Beverly Hills, 90210”, the drama-themed film “The Burden of Proof” and “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper”.
