Mike Heslin, an actor in Taylor Sheridan’s action-drama Lioness, has died. He was 30

His husband, Scotty Dynamo (born Nicolas James Wilson), shared on Instagram that Heslin died Tuesday from an unexpected cardiac event after a week-long battle in the hospital.

“Michael was young, in perfect health, and the doctors have no explanation for what happened,” wrote Wilson. He then revealed the duo, married a little under a year, had been planning a family.

Audiences will recognise Helin as Polo, a role he played on two episodes of the first season of Special Ops: Lioness in 2023. The show, created by Yellowstone writer Sheridan, also starred Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.

Heslin also had a part in the Lifetime movie The Holiday Proposal Plan last year, and The Influencers in 2020. Prior to that, in 2016, he made an appearance on the Paramount+ series Younger, which stars Hilary Duff.
