Michael Tollin grew up in Havertown, Pennsylvania, a suburb outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
His father, Sol Tollin (1929–2006), played basketball and baseball for Haverford College from 1947 to 1951.
Tollin has a passion for sports and remains fiercely loyal to his Philadelphia teams.
He attended Haverford High School and graduated from Stanford University in 1977, where he was a sports columnist and the play-by-play radio announcer for Stanford basketball.
After graduating from Stanford, Tollin's first job was producer/writer for a syndicated series of sports documentaries called Greatest Sports Legends.
Within one year of his arrival, Tollin began directing the series.
He went on to work with MLB Productions in New York and was one of the creators of an Emmy Award-winning series called The Baseball Bunch.
In 1980, he was the writer of the official World Series film in which his favorite team, the Philadelphia Phillies, defeated the Kansas City Royals in six games.
In 1982, Tollin formed his own company, Halcyon Days Productions, and was awarded exclusive rights to the United States Football League, a spring pro football league which played from 1983 through 1985.
Tollin later directed the ESPN 30 for 30 film, "Small Potatoes: Who Killed the USFL?"
in which he and others associated with the USFL, notably former New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump, offered a retrospective on the league (the title came from a quote from Trump).
In addition to its work on the USFL, Halcyon Days Productions also produced sports documentaries, children's shows and entertainment specials.
After the fall of the USFL, Tollin moved to California and joined forces with Brian Robbins.
Together they started Tollin/Robbins Productions.
