Michael is a multifaceted individual with a strong presence in the entertainment industry, having made a name for himself through his appearances in notable productions such as ABC's Killer Women in 2014, An American Terror in 2014, and The Aviation Cocktail in 2012.
In addition to his acting career, Michael has also pursued a career in law, completing his education at law school in Denver, Colorado. He has since established himself as a respected attorney in the state, providing expert counsel to independent filmmakers, production companies, and individuals. His expertise lies in enabling his clients to reach creative milestones while safeguarding their investments, making him a valuable asset to the industry.
As an advocate for the positive impact that media production has on the economy, Michael has worked closely with the State of Colorado to revamp its media production incentive program. His efforts have been instrumental in making the incentive program relevant again, a feat that was last achieved in 2012. As a result, numerous media projects have been brought to Colorado, including high-profile productions such as Furious 7 in 2015, Dear Eleanor in 2016, and An American Terror in 2014.
Michael has also been instrumental in facilitating conversations between local government and community leaders to discuss the impact of media incentives and the challenges that governments face. His insights and data points from filming have been used to inform policy decisions, with Nebraska leaders successfully passing a media incentive in 2012, thanks in part to Michael's testimony and data points from Alexander Payne.
