Michael "Myke" Horton (born July 17, 1954) is a former American gridiron football player who played professionally for the Calgary Stampeders and Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[1]

After his professional football career was curtailed by an Achilles tendon injury, Horton sought work in the entertainment industry. He was a game show contestant on Press Your Luck and Card Sharks. He is best known for appearing on five seasons of the television show American Gladiators as "Gemini" - the only one of the six original Gladiators in the pilot episode to stay with the series.[2][3]
