Michael was born in the city of Toronto, Canada. He later moved to the city of Malton, Mississauga where he spent his teenage years attending Westwood S.S. It was at this high school where two television producers discovered this young talent and casted him for the role of SID in his first television debuting series entitled “Straight up!” in 1997. While working on the set of “Straight Up!” he admired the work of Canadian actress Sarah Polly (Straight Up) and the acting bug bit him and he had found a new passion for the art. Since then, Michael has been working alongside many talents such as Mark Wahlberg (Four Brothers), Taye Diggs (Kevin Hill) and Vivica A. Fox (1-800-Missing) to name a few. In 2010, after working on a numerous amount of commercials and working on other television shows like Being Erica and The Ron James Show, he realized the positive impact film artists can make in their communities. In his spare time, Michael offers his voice to high school students across the city to talk about Self Worth and other issues he had to deal with within the film business. With his varied team sports background, he understood the power of a team and the philosophy of helping others get better automatically makes you better. Michael has this energetic, fun spirited attitude and infectious smile that will be sure to warm your hearts on and off screen.
