Career

Michael first began modeling in 1996 for Fullerton College. By the end of the year he was also working with artists at California State University, Fullerton, California. By 1998 he was modeling for most the major colleges and universities in Orange County and in 1999 began working for Pasadena's Art Center College of Design. In in early 2000 an art director from Sony contacted Artcenter searching for a specific physical type to be the basis for a character in an upcoming film and Michael was brought in to work on 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. He was converted by the CGI artists at Sony Pictures Imageworks Studios into the creature of The Mountain Troll. His continued work for Sony led to his working with artists at Disney Film, Disney Television, DreamWorks, Nickelodeon Studios, and the American Animation Guild.

He has been in over 200 film and television projects, garnering over 90 IMDB credits. His first featured role was in Cranium Candy Entertainment's Naked Shadows, filmed in 2003 and released in 2006. Michael's next lead roles were in Flesh Pit (2004), Skeletons in the Closet (2005), and multiple roles in The Three Trials (2006) .

In June 2007 he appeared on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live as the model in a segment where Aunt Chippy and Uncle Frank learned to draw nude models . In 2003 he began an ongoing series of live appearances as a model for Let's Paint TV, an interactive call-in television show where host & artist John Kilduff instructs on painting while simultaneously running on a treadmill, preparing food or drink, and fielding uncensored phone calls. Michael poses (barely) costumed as the Devil, or a biblical Adam, or as Cupid, or as Nero, or as Bacchus. Most notable among his episodes of LPTV were the ones in November of 2006 when he posed artistically nude while Kilduff stuffed a chicken .

In August 2007, Michael performed at The Troubadour in Hollywood as part of a live performance called "Muscle's for Bones" which featured Weird Al Yankovic and which was hosted by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim.
