Michael was booked as a student in the movie, but was canceled last minute due to work permit issues. The disappointment only drove Michael to want to do more work on set, and develop into a successful working actor.Just nearly turning age 18, Michael graduated high school 6 months early, and then attended Radio/TV school to pursue a career in radio. Michael has worked with a market 2 and 3 radio station, but decided he wanted to work solely on acting. Michael moved to Los Angeles in 2010, and has since worked on projects such as 'Suburgatory' , 'Cougar Town' , and more.
