Here's the Story
Michael was born in Jamestown, NY, the birthplace of the First Lady of Comedy, Lucille Ball. According to his mother, he tap danced in the womb at all hours of the night, ready to hit the stage! Michael caught the acting bug at a very early age. He often coerced his younger sister and brother to perform skits for his parents, paying them with his allowance or assistance in cleaning bedrooms.
Michael went on to earn his BFA in Musical Theatre at the State University of New York at Fredonia. The dream continued and made the big move to New York City where he has resided and continues to thrive. Michael has gone on to work in a variety of productions regionally, Off-Broadway, workshops, touring as a professional clown with Cirque, and working for the Walt Disney Company.
Michael is proudly represented by Danny Prather and Meghan Manahan of Hudson Artists Agency pursuing Musical Theatre, Television, and Film.
