Michael's life journey began in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he spent his formative years before venturing into a professional theater career. Following his professional endeavors, Michael made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles in 1982 to pursue his acting ambitions. His arrival in LA marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, as he started his career as one half of the comedy duo Licassi and Siegel. As regulars at the esteemed Comedy Store, they performed in an impressive 40 TV shows worldwide over a 13-year period, garnering significant exposure and acclaim.
This impressive foundation laid the groundwork for Michael's subsequent acting roles, including appearances on the popular television shows Santa Barbara (1989) and Thirtysomething (1991). Moreover, he made a notable mark with his role in the cult classic Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988). After spending nearly two decades honing his craft and making a name for himself in the entertainment industry, Michael made the life-changing decision to relocate to the UK in 1998.
For the next 13 years, Michael took a hiatus from acting and performing to dedicate his time and energy to his family, particularly his two daughters and son. During this period, he reconnected with his loved ones and prioritized his personal life. Now, Michael has re-established himself in the UK Film, TV, and Theatre industry, with a diverse range of credits to his name. He has appeared in numerous commercials, plays, and television shows, including notable roles in Coronation Street (2014) and Episodes (2015). Furthermore, Michael's work has extended to the realm of documentary filmmaking, with his appearance in the acclaimed documentary "The Man Who Shot Beautiful Women."
