Before acting, Michael spent seven years as a Sports Producer and Reporter for the RKO Radio Networks, where he learned the discipline of storytelling, working under pressure and finding the moment. He then spent more than 20 years as a Manhattan real estate lawyer, arguing cases and negotiating deals before some of the toughest audiences in New York: judges, juries and opposing counsel.
Both careers taught him something he now brings to acting—how to listen, think quickly, understand people and tell a story.
​
Eventually, Michael decided it was time to return to the dream he’d had since childhood. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting full-time and has been building Act III ever since. With a lifetime of experiences to draw from—and a particular fondness for intelligent comedy.
