Life and Career[]

A memorable chat one evening with Robin Williams who was backstage, visiting the local stand up club while filming Jumanji (1995) inspired Michael to pursue his career full-time and he is forever grateful.
Michael's big TV debut was playing a character named Howard Gordon on the Chris Carter series Millennium (1996). Howard was leaving The X Files (1993), another Chris Carter show, and this was a bit of a sweet goodbye as the prolific Producer for which the role was named, was leaving to create a new show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997).
Michael's character driven performances have created opportunities for memorable roles on Once Upon a Time (2011), Stargate SG-1 (1997), Stargate: Atlantis (2004), Smallville (2001), Fringe (2008),X-Men: Evolution (2000), Dragon Ball Z (1989), Hello Kitty (2000), Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny (2004), MegaMan: NT Warrior (2002), Hellsing Ultimate (2006), Hellsing Ultimate (2006), Inuyasha (2000), Tottoko Hamutaro (2000) and numerous other popular animated and live action productions.

Michael also writes and stars in the absurd, modern sitcom, Hipsterverse (2019), and has several other new film and television and animation scripts in development.
